Those who choose to die should be allowed to make that choice in a way that’s safe, painless, and that minimizes the effects on others as much as is possible.
But should doctors (or anyone else) be allowed to suggest it to patients, and at what point does that suggestion become coercion? Through what means will the patient learn about euthanasia as an option?
I think my doctor(s) should be able to advise me on any relevant medical matters, not just those that prolong life.
Yes
> Through what means will the patient learn about euthanasia as an option
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.
> and at what point does that suggestion become coercion?
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.
