Should we let someone die who is unwilling (but otherwise capable) of doing what is needed to stay alive?

@freemo on whether they can be helped, change their mind about it, and get better.

@freemo it's the idea that people don't always know what's best for them as in "I don't need no education". This has been massively abused by various autocratic regimes and nanny states but it's not a reason to let people kill themselves just because they're going through a phase.

@mjambon This seems like a very different answer than your earlier one... So if someone "doesnt know what is best for them" shall we force them?
