As you repeatedly demonstrate, people can and do subscribe to any manner of self-contradictory, dishonest, and emotion-fed views.
Such as the absurd idea that choice is absolutely free from causality, despite the fact that it is constrained by preferences, disposition, bias and circumstances.
As related many times before, because of the patent uncertainty of whether the illness or the person's actual desires are speaking. The vast majority are some kind of stress-induced and/or treatable conditions in which they need help, and certainly not partisan malice in the guise of "freedom" for their pathology.
And of course, the "Original Sin" of harming nonexistent kids by having them does not exist. But the religious do still push that kind of inanity.

As related many times, mental illness is not a gremlin or evil homunculus that creeps into someone's head whilst they are sleeping. It doesn't have its own goals and volition, it describes a function of their brain. The individual's self is nothing more than their brain and the function of their brain; much as the idea of mind/spirit duality has a lot of emotional resonance with you. If the patient repeatedly and unwaveringly holds to the view that they would prefer death, then this is their preference.
And if the Christian God would be worthy of criticism by forcing sentient beings to live in a harmful and dangerous world, then logically that must also apply to those who know of the harms and dangers, yet still see fit to subject a new life to those risks.
No, you have repeatedly cited your war against religion as opposed to honest inquiry/appraisal as your motivation.
In what you pretend, you'd have to have been made at the start to be some combination fundamentally dishonest with the bizarre slants/ emotional non sequiturs, and cognitively impaired enough to not be able to grok that believing no alteration is possible yet trying furiously to make things "better". For the undertakers and sociopaths, maybe.
The truth and nature of reality has no concern for whether or not it can be used to bolster a particular agenda. And it is not possible to choose not to choose. Not knowing the outcome of a particular action forces an actor to behave as though they do have free will, even whilst knowing that there is no such thing.
