Muscle loss is not inevitable. GLP is just a tool to support people making better choices. For many people the positives from it outweight the risk of potential side effects. UK has a serious obesity problem and this is literally saving lives for many people.

Many drugs have multiple uses so just because it wasn't the intended use, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It is also helping people with addictions like alcoholism.

It's fine to acknowlege the risks and issues but demonising it is weird imo. Should people not take blood pressure medication for example if their blood pressure is caused by lifestyle choices? Yeah they should improve their habits but medication still helps

A reminder that there are GLP-1 discussion threads, so please take this chat there and spare us the off-topic borefest.

Personally I think weigh loss helps overall health. This in turn helps the NHS. People’s physical and mental health improves.

Plastic surgery, filler, botox, etc. It's wild to me that people can just request this stuff for no reason and a doctor is like "okay!"

(exception: I think reconstructive plastic surgery is fine though).

As someone who relies on lipreading, there is nothing more distracting than lips fill of filler

What do you mean request this stuff, you mean it shouldn't be a service available at an expensive fee as it is currently?

Do you mean privately, like purchased treatments from a clinic, or NHS treatments? Or both?

Both. I meant the overall concept of elective (non-reconstructive) cosmetic surgery is weird. It seems almost unethical to perform surgery for non-medical reasons. You can't even get a pair of glasses without a prescription. But people can, on a whim, go out and buy a new nose and go under general anesthesia.

Where do we draw the line? If I don't like the look of my hand, is it ethical for a doctor to chop it off for no medical reason even if I "consent"?

I agree, there's also something so sad imo to be so desperate to change how you look you're willing to have surgery, something tnag always entails risks. I've said it before in the kardashian thread but it must be so odd to look at old photos of you as a totally different person, not to mention then not looking at all like any of your children

I mean yeah people get their penises chopped off so i don't think there's necessary a line. I guess body autonomy is a thing and something a lot of people fight for.

I remember watching an interview with Anthony Bordain in which he said something like people always ask why they can't get their food at home to taste as good in a restaurant and the answer is basically always how much butter they use which you'd be horrified to add at home
