        I think fat people are generally quite revolting to look at, and I laugh at them but it's up to them.....

        disclaimer: I'm not so thin any more either but it's MY FLUCKING CHOICE
        I completely agree it is up to them - like smokers

        But why should the state do it's best to keep you alive when you clearly have not taken that much interest in it...

        Or something.

          Taking that logic to its logical conclusion, why should the state try and keep alive anyone unhealthy at all?
          Or does it have to be unhealthy by choice?

          Motor-cyclists - fook 'em. They got on a bike. Get those organs sold to the USA.
          Soliders - well.... they had a choice.
          Children with diseases - parents fault, and they're the ones who suffer most. If you're not willing to see your child die then don;t have any.

          Where do you draw that line?

            If obese/smokers/whatever are not treated, is that for all conditions or only some? And at what point are you too obese/smoke too much/etcetc does that treatment get withdrawn?

            To save the human race it is clear something needs to change. Certainly fertility treatment must be totally outlawed.

                Meanwhile in Germany, where they don't have the UK obesity crisis, they think differently.

                Fat suit role play can tackle obesity prejudice in med students - Scimex

                Getting medical students to role play with patients wearing 'fat suits’ can help destigmatise obesity, say German researchers, following a proof of concept study designed to test the suits as teaching aids. Stigma not only makes it harder for people who are obese to seek help for health issues, but health professionals may blame them for putting on too much weight and treat them less respectfully than other patients, they say. The students said the role play helped them empathise with the fat suit-wearing patients.

                  In a similar vein, what is it with child benefit? I don't understand why the state should pay me to raise a child, if I chose to have a child. I get that the intention is to stop children being raised in poverty but can't help feeling that it encourages the wrong behaviours. Why do people choose to have children when they can barely afford to feed themselves?
