Do the majority of heart attack victims deserve to have heart disease?

Bearing in mind that heart disease is generally caused by smoking, bad diet, lack of excercise etc. and can, in most cases, be avoided. I give generously to a number of charities including The Heart foundation, Save the Children and Cancer Research and I need to drop one of them due to a lack of funds; I am becoming a charity. Is giving to the heart foundation a waste of time because people wont help themselves? It's not like breast cancer, this is unavoidable to some woman no matter how they live their lives.

You have a valid point. In fact a similar system may be implemented on health insurance premiums. I certainly think people should be held accountable for being fat, without, necessarily saying that they d e s e r v e to have heart disease.

Only if they want to die.
No, no one deserves to go through any of that.
No one deserves to have heart disease or ANY illness. How absurd! Many people die from heart attacks that never drank, smoked, did drugs, etc. Tons of people are born with heart problems such as flutters, murmurs, bad valves, etc. So, NO, no one deserves to have heart disease.
Ho Hum...it takes allsorts I guess.
I take it youre slim, exercise at every opportunity, have never smoked or drunk alcohol and never ever done anything that might possibly affect your health;
Heart attacks are ordinarily the result of obstructed blood vessels feeding the heart muscle, they become obstructed because of inflammation, not fat, not smoking not anything else. They do not know at this point what causes the inflammatory process...this is why a good many sudden deaths from heart attach happen to otherwise healthy people. If you have to stop giving to a worthy cause because of financial concerns then do so, but don't try to rationalize it and blame it on others, that is childish.
