Magikarp candy is cheap 1 kmcandy therefore stardust is the limiting factor . <| sep |> Don ' t be so childish lol . Read what I wrote and respond with a proper reply , rather than some snarky oneliner . <| sep |> It is the responsibility of any individual to determine medical fitness , Though I agree with your statement , I think you ' re confusing responsibility with right . Responsibility implies requirement to perform and liability for failure to do so and I think that ' s what you are trying to avoid . and it is their right to not have to tell some dude in a dive shop their medical history . I think we all fundamentally agree , the question is whether or not there are any limits to the right or any responsibility attached to it . It ' s downright invasive that someone thinks they need to know I have had a vasectomy or am postmenopausal . You ' re being hyperbolic nobody has to disclose this level of information on any of the release forms I am familiar with certainly none of the major training agencies do . Smart dudes in a dive shop know it is insane to offer medical advice . Indeed , which is why the protocols for all the major training agencies specifically prohibit dive shop monkeys like me from doing so . In the interest of ensuring that you are making an informed decision you are told to consult with a physician if you meet any of a number of broad parameters so that you can receive medical advice from a qualified source . People have ample opportunity to ensure their own safety , and dive operations have no business getting involved in a customer ' s medical care . Meh , I only mostly agree . First , the point to the release is to ensure that you do have ample opportunity to ensure your own safety the release is for your protection as well as mine . Second , the problem with your absolutist perspective is that it ignores anyone else ' s rights . Your rights and my rights can and often are in conflict . You have a right to privacy and I have a right not to assume the risk of doing business with you . The trouble begins when your rights come with no corresponding responsibility your word to take my rights into consideration . I don ' t want to know if you ' ve had a vasectomy or even if you have a serious medical condition . No , really as my ex will gladly tell you , I ' m way too coldhearted and selfinvolved to care about you and your problems . What I also don ' t want is for you to die because of a medical condition that should have precluded diving and have your estate sue me because you did . To that end , my right to know that you have obtained the information you need from a qualified source in order to provide your informed consent and that you are exercising your responsibility to avoid placing me and your fellow studentsdivers in p hysicalemotionalfinancial danger means that our rights come into conflict . Unless you think that you should have the right to force me to serve you , my right to free association means I win . Within limits .
