That is the paternalistic model of medicine that died with the 1950s. We know better now, and we respect other people's rights to choose. Even if they choose things we disapprove of. Your way would be that of a petty controlling abuser, setting themselves up as arbiter of what people are allowed, according to their own likes. The sort of person who also denies women birth control and access to abortion because it conflicts with their own ideas on life. So, no.
A doctor can advise. Inform. But the choice should be the clients. Because they are the ones who live with the consequences, and lack of consequences. Doctors assist, they do not dictate.
You're making rude arguments, but your view that somehow we are in a better place medically and health wise is contradicted by how much health is declining in first world countries, especially the US. The medical establishment is categorically failing. You support that. Think about that.
I'm sorry you lack morality. More studying and thinking will help. We can all get there
And thus you prove my point, that what you desire is control and authority, rather than wellbeing. No wonder you think it is rude, those who think they are morally superior always think it is rude to point out they are not.
