74. The "younger man" in question is not "fat". He's extremely morbidly obese.

And his morbid obesity already *is* a severe health problem.

And it is a serious medical condition directly linked by medical/scientific evidence to other serious, specific, and debilitating diseases such as diabetes. There is no such scientific correlation between age and any particular disease.

That's why.

Plus, there are no adoption courts governed by statutes placing conditions on adoptive parents involved where parents give birth to their own child.

I don't think you would want people to adopt children without any laws/rules involved, would you? You just don't like this particular decision because you prefer to imagine it "discriminates" against "fat" people. Talking about "discrimination" in that way (refusing to distinguish "fat" vs. "morbidly obese") denigrates really serious issues involved in the civil rights movement's accomplishments of the 1950's and 1960's..
