Now we are getting into an area that has more to do with psychological issues rather than genetic issues...

Some behaviors can be moderately maintained using drugs specific for the factors that cause the psychological issues--i.e. anti-depressants and anti-psychotics...

However, what is obesity-related depression/anxiety/compulsion? Are all eating disorders alike--genetically and biochemically? Maybe there is NOT a biological component to this mixture. But what if there is? What if I can make it where, an obese person can lose the weight they desire without all the repercussions... What would be wrong about that?

Would it be any different if science could make the blind, see??? Or the deaf, hear???

I think there is a judgement being made that we all need to consider... There are a multitude of reasons as to why some folks are fat and some are thin and some are somewhere in between... Our society is obsessed with thinness and a skewed perspective of healthiness... So, we want all the glamour and glitz, but not have to work too hard for it--some work is okay, but doing whatever it takes to get that weight down--most just give up... These folks say to themselves and other, "it was easier for me to do this right now..."

Yeah, we all know that instant gratification is not truly everlasting, but hey, just to make the joy of just one day in one person's life...

I dunno about all of that...

But I do know that some of these issues will be treated by medical genetic therapy and it will come quite rapidly...
