A magic geenie comes up to you and says he can cure your BP. You ask him "what's the catch?"

He grins and says, "The catch is: you will become 500 lbs."

This obviously implies you will be confined to a wheelchair and those motorized scooters at Wal-Mart.*

Obviously you can lose the weight, but it may take years and you may die from clogged arteries. Who knows. You may also develop diabetes, heart disease, etc. along the way. There's also a 99.99999% chance you won't be able to have sex (because IDK anyone who'd want to have sex with an 500-lb person). Then there are things like skin surgery to consider.

It's a risk, BUT you may end up perfectly fine. You may not have any health issues at all... because there are some people that size who are actually fairly healthy in terms of not having heart disease, etc..

Would you accept it?
