Yes, let’s discriminate

GAH! I get so mad when I read the counter-argument on Obese ’should be barred from IVF’:

“Weight loss may improve the success of treatment, and women should be made aware of that, but to deny treatment outright is discriminatory,” he said.

Why can’t they bloody discriminate? Resources aren’t unlimited, for fuck’s sake! We’ll be transplanting livers into unrepentant alcoholics next… oh wait, it’s already been done (although Neil tells me he went private).

I mean, come on, equality for everything is a nice goal to aspire to, but if people refuse to help themselves, why should anyone else?
