Essentially, you’re saying “Why feel sorry for people who died in car accidents? Didn’t they make the choice knowing the outcome?”
Yes, yes, people don’t choose to get in a car accident, but people don’t choose to overdose either. People choose to drive from point A to point B, and everyday people die doing exactly that. Statistically, it might be safer to do drugs than get your driver’s license.
The only difference is how much you can relate with the people. If you can’t see yourself in them, it’s not nearly as tragic.
