My tutor at college told us this would be our discussion for the morning, and we had to give for and against points... so I'm after other peoples opinions.
Say if an obese person travels on a plane, and they're taking up half of the next seat beside them because of their weight, do you believe they should pay for both of those seats, which they are essentionally using?
I personally think yes. I can understand how it might be seen as discrimination and I don't like anyone to feel like they're are personally targeted... But why should that person sitting next to them, have to pay the price for a whole seat, when they only get half of it and are in uncomfortable conditions during the whole flight. Some may say "But it may not be there fault, they might have medical/health conditions", which i completely understand, but then again, it wouldn't be the person they're sitting next to's fault either.
What are your views?
