You’d learn about it because your 90-year old grandpa did it when he got cancer or when your 45-year old aunt did it because she was sick of living. It would just be part of life.

Impossible for me to say for sure. I’d rather there be some cases of coercion than people who want to die being denied the chance.

No-one is "denied the chance" to die if they wait long enough and I'd much rather let a few more people die natural deaths if the alternative is coercing people into suicide.
