About morbidity.

morbidity
the condition of being diseased.
  1. "the therapy can substantially reduce morbidity in infants"
    • the rate of disease in a population.
      "the levels associated with increased morbidity from diseases"

It is clear that a wide spectrum of afflictions will increase the levels of 
morbidity — these are not only visible as one may look well on the out-
side but inside (physically and/or mentally), it can be otherwise… dra-
matically.

The bill said "happiness and dignity" but with some extreme patients, 
it isn't faisable. Though they are happy in their own way and treated with 
dignity by all, these will not be included in the scope of these posts be-
cause there is a point where human nature will be facing a very normal
threshold of acceptance, I have preferred to go for the viewer's empathy.

It was quite difficult for me with some of these people to capture both
"happiness and dignity" through the mask of their respective afflictions.

They're all good portraits, and you're right.  Some of these people would make interesting conversation while I'm sure others would be best to keep a respectful distance from.  We're all individuals with our own problems and happiness, it just happens these people are afflicted in ways beyond what we are and can't live on their own weather by physical, mental, or emotional handicaps.  Sometimes the strength and support aren't there in mind and body or from friends and family to overcome the affliction and they're put in the care of strangers.
