Right to die

You do know people with gambling addictions aren't high rolling money makers, right? They often run out of money they need to feed their family or pay their rent, and get themselves and others around them into trouble because of their problem. It's a mental disease, just like depression. How about a heroin addiction? If somebody is ruining their lives with drugs you care about would you not step in? If one makes a choice, like a belief in religion, I'd go along with it because it's what they choose. But this isn't a choice, it's an illness.

Is it not your choice to start? You go into something knowing full well it is a destructive behavior. If people don't want to be interfered with, then don't interfere with them.
