The moral quandary, closer to the moral dilemma, around needing pharmaceutical medications runs deep in the disability community. I absolutely NEED medications. My broken body does not function like that of an ideal body. The most egregious disruption is in my gut. Having gastroparesis means that my stomach and intestines do not move food, acid, mucus, water, etc. through my digestive system. The motility is so slow that I would not be able to eat or have a bowel movement without surgical interventions and medications.
