You choose to continue to live, many do not. People at the end of life often choose otherwise, and stop eating. Death is the consequence of the choice, it is forced because you do not accept the consequence.

The truth is most people when they say "I am forced to do X" there is really an implicit unstated "So I can have a, b and c".

The fact that you value a, b and c differently from the person does not mean it was not forced from their perspective.
