A seizure is not the same thing at all. Nobody can choose to have a seizure, or choose not to have one.

Seizures were once thought to be caused by sinfulness. We used to think problem gambling was a decision, until we discovered a drug that can cause it. I don't think we know why addicts become addicts just yet, so it might be a little early to orate upon it.

Nobody chose anything without being dictated by physics, biological, sociological, and cognitive factors.
