incapacidad/inercia fatal/mortal Explanation: Mis opciones.	Juan Arturo Blackmore Zerón Mexico Local time: 08:43 Works in field Native speaker of: Spanish PRO pts in category: 195
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) disagree  Neil Ashby: "inactivity" does not translate as "incapacidad" (inability). "inercia", which is related to motion, is the opposite of "inactivity". I wish I could disagree twice! 8 hrs disagree  JohnMcDove: I disagree from a linguistic standpoint, as covered by Neil. 1 day 55 mins
