Real illness, or.....personal choices...
there's the question. How can anyone be heartless enough to critcise someone with, say, muscular dystrophy, or a form of epilepsy, or one of the schixophrenias, or colon cancesr, with having some choice in becoming sick? Much less restrict health care help to them? But how about, say, obesity---or it's typical result---type 2 diabetes, or sun worship skin cancer, or lifelong disablity after a no helmet MC crash, or food and no exercise heart illness? These involve life style choices.But moving on to so called addictive "diseases", are things really different? End stage alcohol induced liver cirrhosis, still drinking, refused for a transplant, and feel unfairly treated (not treated)? Surgery refused for cocaine induced nose deviation? Barometric surgery, if refuse lifestyle modifications?. Tons of examples to consider, here, no? . Molly codllers love to throw the term "disease" about for addictions, as many do words like racist and a variety of those ending with ---phobia, often with little scientific evidence, usually to assuage their self loathing liberal guilt. Takes all kinds, even such as me! ;-) Aa. .

I try not to criticize someone based on their physicality...it would be more feasible to criticise someone's attitude...while in some cases it might be easy to criticize another person's attitude while mine might be nothing to ride home about.
Having a heart and a conscience is key.
