Deadly Thin PART 5/5

Imagine standing in front of a mirror and seeing an obese person staring back at you. Now imagine that this person looking back at you actually weighs only 60 pounds. Take a look inside the mind of an anorexic and bulimic 28-year-old named Aimee. Can she reverse her downward spiral before its too late? To help handle this extreme case, he calls on The Doctors: Lisa Masterson an OBGYN; family therapist Dr. Tara Fields; pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears; plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon; and E.R. physician Dr. Travis Stork.

does this comment makes me look fat?

@chairmobile No one does this stuff to themselves on purpose. Also the heroine or drug thing is a different story and fortunately they DO do that with drug addicts it's one of many shows called "Intervention" on A&E so it all is exposed in order to help people who are struggling with the same thing...

[atlasshrugged2u]

@chairmobile Uh, she obviously needs major help; are you serious?...

[diamondriogurl]

Jennifer is absolutely beautiful!!!

@yslrg look. Do you see heroin users being invited to talk shows where everyone oohs and aahs at their sad story? Do you know that it's possible to be a contributor to the greater good despite individual deficiency? Do you realize that the worthless shit in the video above (unlike many other anorexics) has nothing to offer anyone? THAT's why I don't respect her, and THAT's why she has no worth.

[chairmobile]

@yslrg That outlook comes from a naive and utilitarian misunderstanding of the fact that people are not special. Unqualified human dignity results from a pathetic belief that we're any different than any other animal; in fact, the only "worth" that any individual has is their worth to society. Unless, of course, you are arrogant enough to follow an organized religion.

No need to be hostile - just wanted to know if you'd considered her trauma and age (she started the ED as a child) into your initial response, or if it would change your perspective if you did.

[yslrg]

@chairmobile I just thought your response (in general) to this was interesting - don't really see how respect plays into this at all. For me, all people intrinsically deserve respect even if their actions may not. If you'd read my 1st comment, I said that using an addiction or ED was not commendable. That doesn't mean these people aren't deserving of respect, compassion, or understanding.

[klavaalley]

you guys are fucking idiots.

[chairmobile]

@yslrg a) She's not a little fucking kid anymore.

b) Do you think heroin addicts are poor little sob story cases to be pitied?

I don't respect drug addicts; most people in society don't. Why should I respect these fucks? And why do you care?

[yslrg]

@chairmobile & @ addisonroadfan - EDs don't develop due to obsessing over attractiveness. It's a coping mechanism for other issues/feelings that are too hard/painful to confront (molestation, rape, etc.) A lot of drug addicts probably use drugs for the same reason. While using an addiction/ED as a way to cope isn't commendable, what would your standards be like to "respect" a small child for how they've coped with being molested with no other support? Just something to think about
