I don't find it reasonable that I have to pay taxes for people who smoke to get medical treatment for lung cancer, or for that matter anyone who eats unhealthily and does not eat organic food including their 5 a day. I don't find it reasonable for people to be treated for depression or psychiatric issues because their bodies function perfectly normal. I don't find it reasonable to pay for people who have broken their legs. They should have been more careful in the first place.
I don't find it reasonable to cure people who were born with an affliction that they had no choice over because that's the way they were obviously meant to be.
People should be free to change their bodies and brains in order to fix them but not to force other people for it via taxation.
At least I would be saying all this if I used your logic.
