Is Zupan self-decieving himself by glorifying his misery ?

"self-decieving himself"

With grammar like that, no one will take you seriously.

Your question is this, I edited it so it makes sense:

" Is Zupan decieving himself by glorifying his misery ? "

Your question is flawed from the start. Your concept of a disabled person suggests that they are miserable, period. Not everyone who is disabled lives a life of misery, pain and self loathing. Everything Zupan said in that quote can very easily be true, he's not miserable and he is making the best of the life he was given, end of story.

Don't assume disabled people are always miserable.

I agree with the post that takes the assumptions in this question to task. I'd add that asking people to "turn back the clock" is a nonsense question because it asks for a nonsense answer. We are a compilation of everthing that happens to us. If you "turned back the clock", you could not begin to predict who you would be now. In my research of families who survive catestrophic circumstances, they describe what I have come to call "the new normal." Ideas of returning to normal are ludicrous, your normal is whatever and wherever you are.

I was in a car accident 14 years ago. I fracture my odontoid (C-2), cracked the body of C-6 and fractured C-7. I had non-displacing fractures and thus, was not paralyzed although I wore a halo for 19 weeks. Due to my injuries, I have nerve damage in both arms. The medications I take are contra-indicated for pregnancy so my husband and I are not sure we can have biological children and I have daily pain. (this is not a comparison to the gentlemen in the movie, just a description of my experience) At least once a year, at physical therapy or in public, people ask me if I wish it had not happened. While I'd love to be out of pain cycles, spend less on medical bills, and not worry about the toxic effects of my medication (which is not pain killers, incidentally) on any future children, I know who I am from the past I have experienced, just like the rest of the world. If I change that, what other wonderful things from my life would I no longer have?

To be honest I think it makes for a more interesting movie but I think it's a perhaps inadvertent lie. The question I heard when they were on a talk show was "If there was a cure for your condition, would you take it?" And I believe 2 of the guys, including Zupan, said no. Which makes for dramatic moviemaking. But I don't believe it.

Like said a previous message here the question is non sensical anyway and you assume that quadriplegics are miserable anyway

That would be like asking "If you could fly where would you go first ?"
Possible answers :

-(crazy/artist/dreamer) : "but I already fly".
-(equally non sensical) : "I'd fly over the ocean"
-(realist) : "Nobody will fly in a foreseeable future"

etc...
