If we're going to talk about no free will existing until certain systems are in place, I would say systems of actual good medical care, without financial stress when you have a serious illness, are a pre-requisite to having "free will" to decide to end one's life when in such a situation. Giving up because you are financially ruined and still can't get attentive medical care is no more "free will" then _not_ killing yourself because "systems in place" aren't available to help you do it.

That is a made up justification to force a person into living in a broken system when in unbearable pain. While ignoring the person who wishes to end her life and exerting one's will forcibly upon another who is not privileged.

How about you fix the system first before making this argument. Good luck.
