What do you mean by "other ending"? Do you mean non-consensual ending (murder) or consensual ending (euthanasia).
The fact that someone can be coerced into taking action themselves is a simple fact of life. It is always a possibility with suicide or euthanasia.
Moral theory does not need to split hairs on the probability of that coercion occurring. You can simply say it is moral for someone to decide to end their life , and either do it themselves or get help. You can also hold it immoral to coerce someone into death. Morality does not depend if those standards will be perfectly upheld by humanity. Moral standards never are.
