Ethical issues in dealing with anorexics in the gym
A FF customer and reader of this blog has made some time ago (in the previous post) the question of whether FF had a "not also a duty of care to the members" and "what would happen if this girl because anorexia (?) dies. Can one really do anything? "
We all know that sport is an intensive operation of one of the symptoms of anorexia. Anorexia nervosa or anorexia nervosa is a psychosomatic illness, which, as already affirmed the comment, can sometimes lead to death. In fact, FF should ask how the company is the fact that a person, partly due to the negligence of the Coach could die, and the customer care at the gym? Is there not a duty that person at least to point out that what she is doing is not only harmful but dangerous is it?
The simple excuse that one can do nothing, in this case not only an excuse. It is dangerous and not entirely uncontroversial. In the UK the problem has already found its way into the press: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1202636/Gym-let-join-I-anorexic-step-treadmill-killed-me. html and here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Former-Anorexic-Takes-Gym-to-Court-over-Subscription-117706.shtm l
The gym, by the This article is talking about, but ultimately the membership terminated and that is what should make FF, if they do not want to be complicit in a murder. For what is the difference between a doctor who has a patient wrongly treated and know that this would therefore die and a gym, but given no medication, but is after all the devices available to burn as many calories that MENSCHNER life could lose? And yes, the gym, everyone knows of that risk. But everyone looks just to - viewers of a death. If that is not morally reprehensible and should be illegal, then what?
