To put it another way, isn't this kind of like saying that it should be the blue-collar workers' choice whether they want to work in a factory that adheres to safety guidelines?

You are missing the point of the whole exercise. If you restrict corps like McD or ADM from creating all these medical "problems" (that's problem for you, possibilities for them) then how will the medical industry continue to be a 3 trillion dollar per year concern? We are just grist for the mill. As long as we can keep cranking out babies, and we seem to be doing pretty darn well at it,all things considered, there will always be more grist for the mill.
This really isn't about humans. Just follow the dollars.
