Prescription Weight Loss Drugs for All?

David Allison, an obesity researcher and distinguished professor at Indiana University, argues for universal access to weight loss drugs like GLP-1 agonists. In contrast, Stuart W. Flint, Associate Professor at the University of Leeds, calls for further research before widespread use. They delve into ethical dilemmas, balancing personal choice with societal responsibility, and discuss the risks of side effects versus the necessity of these medications for effective weight management. The conversation invites reflection on health implications for diverse populations.
