#4  TR - As in William Gibson's Neuromancer, IIRC. Wireheading was the human equivalent to the rat studies we've all heard about - probes are placed in the pleasure centers of the brain and the rat is offered the choice of zapping himself / herself into orgasmic oblivion by hitting lever A - or eating by hitting lever B. The majority starved themselves to death.

Self-euthanization.

#1  Some are just too far gone into their fantasy worlds to be saved. Wirehead 'em, warehouse 'em, or kill 'em.
