If they make a conscious decision to become anorexic, then they've made that decision and there's nothing that we can say or do that can change that decision if they don't want to change.

Yes and no.. anorexics can spur each other on/make each other worse. And giving someone advice on how to starve themself acheives the same objective- its not just saying 'well you want to do it, here's how' its telling people that its ok/a good thing to be starving themselves. I agree with free-speech.. fine. But not in certain instances where its inciting people to do 'bad' things they might not do otherwise.
