That is interesting information rahl. I would agree that people have varying risk factors and some people intentionally make themselves higher risk. The question I have for you is right now risk is risk it isn't divided into risk that is caused by ones own behaviors (not eating well or staying in shape, wild outdoors enthusiast, etc) and risks that just are (consecutive abnormal pap-smears, previous cancer victim, birth defects, etc).
Is it fair to take people who are high risk due to no fault of their own and treat them the same as people who choose to live a risky lifestyle? I do think there should be intensives for people to live healthy but we need to be careful that those incentives do not become punishments for people who are sick.
