Non sequitur.
Do you assume that when you pressure someone to live, then you’ve subverted their free will?
I point out that we can’t assume that just because someone tries to apply pressure, it doesn’t mean the person didn’t choose willingly. A person can make a decision despite attempts to apply pressure.

I'm still waiting for you to justify your claim that when you pressure someone to die we should kill them just the same as if it were their own free will.
16 . Usually your kind at least pretends to believe that vulnerable people won't be pressured. That there will be safeguards. This is the first time I've seen anyone openly promote pressuring vulnerable people to agree to their own demise. That's pushing the "survival of the fittest" attitude to its limits.

10.to force (someone) toward a particular end; influence:
Example: They pressured him into accepting the contract.
Dictionary: pressured
5. A compelling or constraining influence, such as a moral force, on the mind or will: pressure to conform; peer-group pressure.
Doesn't sound like free will to me.
