IMO a healthy life is a right




I'm not going to get into some kine of urination match regarding whether or not a health life is a right or privilege. Personally, I struggle to classify it as either and could lead arguments for/against both. It is, however, a responsibility.

Who bears the responsibility for an individual that lazes around day after day, shoveling the worst food into the body, and generally neglecting care for self resulting in some kind of lifestyle disease/disorder (e.g. certain types of diabetes, heart problems, hypertension, obesity)? It shouldn't be the public. Therefore, if you neglect self, do you really have a right to a healthy life? This does not apply to circumstances beyond an individual's control, but if you knowingly and repeatedly abuse/neglect your body, why is that my problem?

Also, I think you should be the poster boy for NASA. You seem to enjoy when they crash large hunks of metal into the moon.
