(I agree wholeheartedly with almost everything you’ve said here, and have strong upvoted, but I want to make space for the fact that some people don’t make sense, and some people reflectively endorse not making sense, and so while I will argue against their preference for death over discomfort, I will also fight for their right to make the wrong choice for themselves, just as I fight for your and my right to make the correct choice for ourselves. Unless there is freedom for people to make wrong choices, we can never move beyond a socially-endorsed “right” choice to something Actually Better.)
