I'd disagree, and the fact that people can successfully battle anorexia is proof that your analogy is not apt. The neurochemical disorders in anorexics brains do not force them to do things they create urges. They do have a choice, it's just heavily biased toward not eating. This is not at all the same as Alzheimer's disease. It is far more akin to, say, alcoholism, cocaine addiction, clinical depression, or OCD. Also, not all anorexia is due to a neurochemical disorder. It's similar in the sense that it's caused by an underlying physical condition, not a moral failing. The difference is one of degree, not of kind. Paul |
