The chapter probes the distinction between failing as a person and failing to be a person, using examples of historical figures to illustrate how one's fulfillment of their role as a human person can vary. It challenges the misconception that individuals lacking cognitive or volitional capacities are failed persons, emphasizing that failure as a person occurs when capable individuals are hindered from pursuing personhood goals.
