Since it's consent to do the best option available and he wasn't put into the position of needing the help by the ones offering it I don't think it's much of a moral issue. Usually the moral problems come when less than ideal alternatives are proposed or people are forced into a situation where they otherwise wouldn't have had to choose. I.e. conflict of interest stuff from the ones proposing to get consent to try to help.
