Anyone read David Brin's story "The Giving Plague."?
These drugs have the flavor of that. I'd be reluctant to take them not because the Thyroid cancer risk or loss of muscle mass. Or the possibility that if I stopped I might gain more weight then when I started.
I'd be reluctant because in it's weird hormonal backdoor way it seems to be really messing with your personality. I'm not convinced the grass is actually greener on the other side - I tend to be of the belief that it's no better or worse; it's just a different set of tradeoffs.
All that said while I'm not skinny I'm also not (in my and I assume my dr's judgement) a candidate for this drug. Maybe if I was I'd feel differently.
