Overweight passengers having to purchase 2 seats, fair or not fair

I am also split. On one hand, I wouldn't want to be crowded by a morbidly obese person sitting next to me. On the other hand, they have rights just like the rest of us. I see it this way, my son, who is multi-handicapable requires special accomodations when traveling. Why should I have to pay extra for those accomodations? If he needs extra room for his medical equipment, then we sit in the bulk head seats. If he needs oxygen while on the airliner, then they should provide that, since they will not (cannot) allow us to bring his tanks.

I think ADA will be all over this one with the airlines. Obesity is concidered a disability, and they will demand that airlines incorporate accessible seating.
