This. People have the right to make decisions about their lives which other people consider to be stupid and reckless. Just as anyone else has the right to say that in their opinion such behaviour is stupid and reckless. But that's all it is - one person's opinion about someone else's decision. And God knows there are enough of them about.

That's very different to having made a conscious, informed decision, which admittedly seems pretty unlikely.
