TL;DR

In an upside-down world created for wheelchair-users, the able-bodied would be at a disadvantage and come to resent the fact that decisions on their behalf were taken by the disabled majority, who had no experience of the problems encountered by the ability-bodied in an alien environment.

Abstract

The real world is designed for the able-bodied and disabled people must learn to cope. In an upside-down world created for wheelchair-users, the able-bodied would be at a disadvantage. How long would it be before they came to resent the fact that decisions on their behalf were taken by the disabled majority, who had no experience of the problems encountered by the able-bodied in an alien environment?
