It's not quite that I disagree. I just think that your statement and example don't make an accounting for what honor and respect a person is worthy of independent of their work status. Should a 3 year old, or a 93 year old, only be accorded respect in accordance to how much they work? Should hospital patients receive less honor and respect than hospital staff?
I think human life has value, and is worth of honor and respect, completely independent of the capacity and willingness to work.

Do you see it differently?
