This does raise a question based off my own experience. Some people's genetics lead to things that require surgical interventions to let them live or have quality of life.
I was somewhat physically off my whole life until my pain, appetite, balance, ability to sleep, vision, etc. got much worse in my 30s because it turned out that something I was born with was leading my brain to slide down into my spine, compressing it. (Symptoms of Chiari I malformation either hit you in your 30s or your childhood.) If I didn't get brain surgery, I would gradually become paralyzed and die, if my inability to be hungry much or sleep for more than three cumulative hours a night didn't destroy me first. The surgery was not anywhere as successful in restoring me as my surgeon led me to believe--he claimed that was my fault--and I've been disabled and in chronic pain ever since, though the first year after the surgery was the absolute worst.
On Krakoa, if I died I'd be resurrected with the same condition that would require eventual brain surgery and I'd have to wonder when or if it would smite me again.

But that is why I think that a story about what, if any, changes someone might want made to their body if they were to be resurrected would be something best handled by someone who can directly relate to a person in that situation to avoid the risk of it coming off as ableist or insulting

Date: 2021-06-19 07:14 am (UTC)I'm not "obviously," "visibly" disabled unless I'm having a really bad day and it shows in my body language and walk, which is its own barrel of problems since I get left out sometimes even by people who should know better. (Like doctors.) Thus, it would surprise me more if somebody did get this whole thing right in the comics, but this is one of the things about Krakoan life that I really hope somebody tries to address.
