This is a pretty “duh” statement. Of course people don’t want to get sick. But many illnesses are genetic, even illnesses that we presumably have some control over (like blood cholesterol levels or addiction). Many illnesses are caused by exposures and traumas in our childhoods where we had very little control in our life. Even lifestyle illnesses can be pointed to as coming from a place where one may not have been enabled to live a healthy lifestyle, due to ignorant raising.
