Relevant to liberalism and constraints on choice: even in the Netherlands, where assisted dying's been legal and normalised for 20+ years, only ~6% of deaths are assisted – one in nine among cancer patients, who have the best access. I dig into how much of that gap is genuine preference vs. institutional barriers (eligibility, capacity rules, provider deserts, bureaucratic attrition), and argue observed rates measure constraint, not demand. Probably these rates will hit 10% within 10 years, at least in states/countries that permit euthanasia (doctor administered, instead of just self-administered).
