Steroid use to enhance metal and physical states
Our society promotes a certain image males/females should have or strive for. It has been proven in scientific studies that appearance will dictate how successful one is in life. People you encounter will have an automatic bias towards you based on your appearance. The more attractive one looks the easier it is to deal with people. So why is it abnormal in our society to use synthetic forms of testosterone and other muscle building drugs while plastic surgery is okay, breast enlargement is okay, high-hills which overtime will deform the foot is okay, makeup is okay; people will even frown down on women who don’t put on makeup. However, using steroids and other related medication to improve performance, raise self-esteem, improve health in otherwise healthy individuals is such a taboo. In fact they will have congressional hearings about it and put people in prison for it. Even if you’re using the drugs for pure vanity how is it any different than everything else society approves of? How can average Americans be so ignorant? How “normal†is it to use drugs to enhance mental and physical states.
