Should being fat stop you from having an operation?

There are reports this morning that a number of NHS trusts are not allowing routine surgery to be carried out on people if they're too overweight.

Should people be penalised for their size?

PLEASE NOTE - this subject was replaced by 0930 with the news that 6 British soldiers had been killed in Afghanistan. We had updates from our correspondents from 0900 as well as calls from a mum with a soldier son and a serving soldier who lost a leg in Afghanistan.
