[quote=Anonymous]On a societal level, I think the change will be similar to the advances with IVF and fertility treatments. Much like how a lot of people are now able to have children who couldn't before these advances, there will now be so many more people who will be able to reach a heathy weight. That's a big win for society from health outcomes to healthcare costs to just the joy of having family members around and living longer and healthier lives. But it won't work for everyone. And not everyone will choose the cost in terms of side effects and commitment to staying on the drug. Just like not every infertile person chooses to keep doing round after round of IVF until they get a baby and not everyone ultimately ends up pregnant. So just like we haven't eliminated infertility, I doubt we will eliminate obesity. But I do think it is an incredible scientific advance that is going to change a lot of lives and change society for the better.[/quote]
