Should I consider hgh to improve my desk performance??? I lean at least two inches closer to a much larger monitor these days...This is certainly affecting my performance. 628654@blogcritics.org Wed, 5 Sep 2007 13:57:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/31/232805.php#comment-627389 i don't disagree that the argument can be made that if hgh is legal, you as an individual have the right to take it regardless of your reasons for taking it. however, if the nfl, nba, mlb, olympics or any other organizations say that those who compete cannot take any substance that can aid in performance, and clearly define what these substances are, it is their right to conduct their business as they see fit. furthermore, if athletes want to advance the position that they should be entitled to take whatever drugs they want because it's their ass on the line and that their livelihood is at stake, let them make this argument. as of this point, not one athlete has taken this position and has said that regardless of what certain medical experts say, that it's their right to take what they want to help them to be as good as they can be. if anything, athletes have gone to great lengths to hide their use of these substances. i'm waiting for an athlete to take the very defendable position that jeff has stated above. 627389@blogcritics.org Sat, 1 Sep 2007 22:48:46 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/31/232805.php#comment-627352 How about freedom to medicate?? I own my body, and I can put whatever I want in my body. Anyone who says you can't is making a claim of ownership over your body, plain and simple. So decide, are we free people who own are bodies or does someone else own us as slaves? There's no gray area on this one. 627352@blogcritics.org Sat, 1 Sep 2007 21:20:38 EDT
