If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

"Only those who have agreed to treatment get sent there."

Of course when you're being forced to take one of two options, you can't really be said to be "choosing" anything. Not that these people shouldn't be in these situations.

Isn't that the definition of choice?

You are choosing between two options, buy can you be said to have "choosen" to go to jail when presented with get arrested or get shot?
My point was just that it's not EXACTLY "voluntary," maybe in letter but most certainly not in spirit.

Reminds me of Escape from New York, in which you are given the option of being terminated rather than being set loose in Manhattan.
