No. No one "deserves to be in hell." There are no exceptions to this.

And if we are unable to follow our desires, within reasonable parameters that respect the desires of other people as well, then we have no lives of our own and it is not possible for those lives to have genuine meaning for us. The instant we resign ourselves to following the plans of other beings and denying our own plans, in essence we have forfeited our very lives and are mere puppets being played by someone else.
