That sounds very reasonable. I agree, talking to them would be my first strategy, in a real situation. I just excluded it originally to contrast it with the poll options.
I'd do everything I could to get through to them, to see if I could change their mind. If I can, then obviously they're not completely sure about it in the first place.
I'd only resort to physically restraining them if talking was no longer an option; maybe I got there too late for that, or they just ignore my words.
Hmm, that's interesting... If they convinced me they were of sound mind? I get your point, but I'm still a little wary. People could probably fool me, just to make me allow them to go through with it. Could I take that chance? I'd have no way of knowing if what they said was "normal" for them, or if the reasons they gave were real. Maybe they have had a psychotic break. I don't know if I could "permit" them to go ahead with it; although I don't like how that sounds either. It's a difficult one.
