Can giving someone additional choice ever be bad? e.g. "If you fly to australia I will give you a scorpion plushie". GIVEN: no consent is violated (I am not stealing the plushie) and there's no punishment if refused ("you said no? Now i'm gonna mail you a box of live scorpions")
If I'm already going to die and it's inevitable, I'm definitely going to die by fire, and someone comes along and is like "Hey, you could also drown too maybe?" that seems like a good thing to me.

But, you just added an additional condition to the situation. The imminence of death. That changes the scenario. Your original post was simply about the relative quality of multiple choices. Change the scenario and you change the relationships between the choices.

Oh, sure, but I also said no consent violations. You can't put the person into a situation they weren't in before. If they weren't already going to die, you can't say "Ok I'm going to kill you, how do you want to be killed?"
