I mean, in both these the percentage of people under 55 opting for euthanasia is under 12%. Yes I wouldn’t classify someone who’s 55 as “elderly”, but they’re not young either and I can imagine someone with a really painful, likely terminal condition at that age opting for a dignified death. Heck I’m 35 and if I got diagnosed with a type of cancer that has a really low survivability I think I’d opt for spending a year smoking weed on the beach and getting blowjobs then dying dignifiedly.
Which is a ~1000 people if you have ten thousand applicants, and would make it one of the leading causes of death among younger people

Yes, it’s very easy to imagine appropriate conditions for euthanasia. The problem is the inappropriate conditions, overlaid by an economic and political system that found it easier to help people kill themselves (in a nice and more robust way to be sure) than expand care and services.
