A large part of non-personalized EVA suits is, when an emergency vacuum release occurs you wouldn't want astronauts (cosmonauts, if you prefer) looking for their personalized EVA suit. Seconds matter. I have a disability and would love to go into space, but understand the necessity for uniformity in EVA suits. I'm not trying to be the bad guy, but many of the well articulated amputation prosthesis might risk a suit puncture, the stresses on the body could cause high/low blood sugars when a person is unable to get to medicine or food to regulate their blood sugars, epilepsy is a non-starter, eye sight might be a pass with surgery (though I saw a pilot talking about that above), I saw someone arguing for paralyzed astronauts which was an argument that was beyond me (sorry) - I just don't think we're there yet. If we were at the level of a space elevator, then I think this would be a fantastic plan, and I would be the first in line! But as a disabled person, this seems to put inclusion and politic in front of safety protocol. They aren't just choosing astronauts based on physical performance, these are also startling smart individuals who have worked hard and I don't think that should be forgotten. The vast majority of them are science nerds, not jocks.
