Poor Choices

I saw this in an article about "Blowfish Poisoning in Japan"

"Blowfish testicles prepared by an unauthorized chef sickened seven diners in northern Japan and three remained hospitalized Tuesday after eating the poisonous delicacy."

Now I feel for these people and clearly the chef is a shady character but at what point does personal responsibility take over and these people are forced to look inside themselves and ask whether this is simply what you get for eating fish testicles.
