Basically, all freedom's good, right? Until your freedom starts messing with someone else's.

Is the freedom to starve oneself good? (I think it may be, but it's troubling)

If you want the freedom to starve yourself, others shouldn't pay for your medical care if you pass out and a hospital tries to revive you
I personally don't think we can ever have an entirely free market for health care because most people are not morally willing to let people who can't afford health care die (or even suffer, much) because they can't afford it

Letting people starve to death isn't good, but having the freedom to decide that is. Isn't that basically what we do all the time? I know people die from hunger daily, and I don't do anything about it.

I was specifically thinking of someone's choice to starve (think hunger strike or anorexia), not famine or involuntary hunger.
