Well, I don't think it's as cut-and-dry as you think. Take suicide: Some might say that people only commit suicide because they are depressed. And their depression might only be a temporary. Therefore, they don't deserve to die. That's one way of looking at it, is it not?

Others might think: Everything happens for a reason; it's part of God's plan. Therefore suicide was deserved.

And how about this?: If the person wants to die, for whatever reason, who are we to deny them their decision? So it's deserved in that sense.
