answer in full pleaseShould the uk goverment restrict life saving/changing health care to people that smoke or are over weight?
no..why should they? Obese people and smokers need more medical attention than regular people. Just because they harm themselves is no reason to stop treating them!
Think of it this way....would you restrict medical attention to a person who has recently attempted suicide? Even though that person WANTS to end his life, we still treat him medically as if he wants to live.
I also have a more selfish perspective. Disagree if you must. When we have fat people and smokers in the system, we are also keeping tabs on possible organs...if these people slip out of the system, we are losing potential lungs,livers,hearts and kidneys...Should the uk goverment restrict life saving/changing health care to people that smoke or are over weight?
To people who smoke. They make that decision. But some obese people have real issues and problems, so the government should help them, but only to an extent.
