I think we can only respond to the individual and spend more time talking about the consequences of being labelled & what it means for that person.Societal conception does not really exist.Everthing is about that patient that sits in front of you & how they feel about the label🗣

To judge the quality of a democratic process, we need to judge two things.
1) The quality of the people: are they being the best version of themselves? Or are they mentally agitated?
2) The quality of language being used, to arrive at a democratic decision.
If we take an extreme reductionist perspective on consciousness, that it is an “emergent phenomenon” which arises out of some computation, then democracy is not required !  
It is only the inadequacy of our computational tools, that require us to use a process like voting.
A honest appraisal of situation will let us understand that what we have today is a game of competitive corruption by multiple strategic interests, all very short-sighted. Nobody is interested in refining the language of the debate, since nobody knows about the unknown unknowns.
This is because, at its best, democracy is nothing but Yajña, or voluntary sharing. And at our own best, we are nothing but Dēvas.
“Yajñena yajñam ajayanta dēvāh”. 
The Dēvas perform Yajña, which is both the process and the goal.
