What if they're dying anyway?
Choose life.
Ben: I think it's okay to try to allay someone's concerns in such a case, but they should want to die already.
it definitely fits in the grey zone, but i don't think i can call it outright wrong.
For the purposes of my vote, I'm going to say that "convince" requires that their position be altered.
I can imagine situations where necessity exists, but that doesn't alter the moral character of the action. Convincing someone that they want to die seems morally equivalent to killing them.

If you convince the person, they're still making the choice themselves. You're merely being persuasive.
