The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.?

A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Grapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.

Nearly two decades has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles, it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.

When James was a teenager, his father   36  him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The   37  was to get James a job.

James entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the   38  had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the   39  were packed tightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying,   40  a thickened air, and the workers,   41  the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles   42  the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster .James could hardly   43 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn’t   44  at him, too.

During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,   45 if there was any work for his son. But   46  there was hardly enough   47  for the adult labours, for no one would give it up once he took a job.

Thus, for James, it was a   48 . He hated the place. He made a   49  that he kept to the end of his life: he would never do any work that brought   50  to someone else, and he would never allow himself to   51  money off the seat of others.

“What will you do?” his mother, Eva, would ask him.

“I don’t know,” he   52  say. He ruled out law, because he didn’t like   53 , and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn’t take the   54  of blood.

“What will you do?”

  55 , my best professor I ever had became—he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.
