From a philosophical standpoint, does taking Propecia make you less morally right? Does it represent that you are slave to your appearances?
A singular act that could cure baldness would be different, because you wouldn't be spending time every day to take care and nurture this one psychological weakness of yours. Does that make you less of a man, or more shallow a man?
When you see television or movie or novel characters that you envy, you never see them do things that involve surrendering to their vanity. They don't spend time to style their hair or where nice clothes, they just already are by the time you start following/watching them. This leaving out of vain acts makes you like the character more because they are ideal in the sense that they look superior without the cost of being morally inferior (vain). They have hair without taking a drug every day.
Does anyone feel that they are, in a sense, signing a contract with their own vanity when they pursue methods to treat hair loss? Its like, choosing to allow your vanity to thrive, because you never came to terms with your appearance.
Sorry to sound retarded, I'm not really taking the proper time to choose my words with much grace. Hopefully my point comes across.
I just hate seeing characters on TV that have hair, because you watch them and see them be heroic, or morally good, and you wonder how a character like that would go home after saving the world and quick down their daily Propecia. You know? If any of us were in a zombie apocalypse, or saving the world, or trying to do something good and important that might take us from our comfort zones (home, hotel room, etc.) for awhile, would any of you seriously make sure you pack your Propecia?
This doesn't necessarily have to be Propecia only by the way, it could be any daily regiment treatment.
