> A person has no intrinsic function, so we can't say that they're broken.

I disagree. When you see people whose brains are so fried they spend their entire waking state walking in and out of traffic screaming incoherently at everyone and no one, and their mind exists in a different reality with no connection to the actual, and there's no medical treatment (or, any way to administer) to overcome the mental disease compounded by extreme drug use... I find it hard to argue that such a person is not "broken."
