Not even comparable.
First, people make these choices voluntarily and are not in servitude.
Secondly, even as science is revealing the horror of the consequences, a lot of these people still choose to do it.
For example when you tell star college football players the NFL has a 40% chance of brain damage, most will still go. It's hard for me to understand, but the fame, fortune, glory, adulation some believe is a fair trade off.
