I want to know what relevance it has to this topic.
I would bet that you believe that a person has a right to take their own life...an unalienable right. Wouldn't sin taxes infringe on someone's right to kill themselves? Is the government regulating the manner by which people can do it? I know it's a stretch. This is all in good fun, anyway.

You and I have different belief systems. This question is not relevant in my belief system because the government(me) would not be funding those resources. Therefore, I would not be offended by the person using the tanning bed or the personal costs they would incur from the consequences.
