I understand your point. I think people should be able to consent to that, but how do you assure they don't do this because they get forced to agree?

The same way we assure people consenting to anything at all are not being forced to. We try our best basically. And sometimes we'll probably get it wrong and need to improve. I'm completely ok with that when the alternative is guaranteed preventable suffering. Just like I'm ok with people using power of attorney to protect the finances of people with dementia, even if sometimes it gets misapplied.
