It's almost certainly better for the vast majority of humans to die on their preferred schedule from something that wont cause them to suffer. The old joke goes: "I want to die like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep with no pain, unlike his passengers who all died screaming and in agony" Most "natural" deaths are just various forms of suffering. You decay while still technically alive, your body stops working, your brain turns to pudding despite your physical fitness and healthy life. Why WOULDN'T more people choose to die peacefully, if they don't have religious or moral problems with suicide? I would expect, in an imaginary utopia, that the vast majority of non-accidental deaths would be by choice. The alternative is laying in an expensive bed for an indeterminate time while a doctor pumps you so full of opioids that you are barely you anymore anyway. Or like my Memere, you die by choking on your own vomit, alone in your home, with everybody coming to see you for your birthday in a few days but miss you, because you die first. She probably would have preferred to schedule it.
