In response to Charl, for me the answer has to be no because we are all different, culturally, genetically.

The simplest analogy I guess could be, I don't like brussel sprouts, I don't want to eat brussel sprouts, why should I be forced to eat brussel sprouts, even though they're "good" for me. And maybe you don't like watermelon. Why should you be forced to eat watermelon, just because it's good for you?

Additionally, there is often more than one solution to a problem, "more than one way to skin a cat" as they say. Narrowing the solution to disease down to mandating a single drug is ludicrous, when we consider how nature/evolution works. We have seen this in the overuse of antibiotics.

In a just and democratic society, we must have freedom to choose, otherwise we're living in a totalitarian state.

Well said Dr Wilyman. Bravo. Unfortunately these times we live in are full of deception. Nearly everything is inverted. What the majority of us have been taught to think is good for us in reality is bad for us.
