It wasn't a question of morality - we don't know what the long term side effects are.

Look if it helps a morbidly obese person drop enough weight so that they can get a handle on their A1C, blood pressure, etc. then it's probably (from what we know now) worth the risk. For the slightly overweight person who takes it, and I know a few from the gym, we don't know what that looks like yet.

It will take time to find out if there are long term detrimental effects.

But we actually do. And they seem to be all positive so far.

It's been 20 years already from the development of the earliest GLP-1 agonists.
