"I think so. We are wired for survival (most of us, anyway). That generally is priority one. So a threat to that will affect what we do. Unless you're already suicidal, in which case it wouldn't make a difference. Which is wiring and sthtu (i.e. whether you're suicidal or not)."

Now you're agreeing with me. In both cases, the choice (who to will your stuff to) is determined (by wiring and sthtu) and couldn't have gone otherwise. Yet that commonality doesn't matter - in the case where the choice is being made under duress, that choice won't be legally respected as being made freely enough.
