Hi Elena. Good question! De Beauvoir thought that whilst we were radically free, out choices were constrained by the circumstances of our life — particularly because of our bodies. There are some things that limit our ability to freely choose different options. However, existentialists also encourage us not to overstate how much our bodily situation limits our freedom. We can let that determine how we live our lives from that point onward, or we can continue to live a life that is ours, despite the diagnosis, or in light of it.
