Keep saying it. They will get used to it. Just like the earth is round. Thats how they "learn" most things in the first place. Not by discovering it by themseleves, but through repeating what the majority around them say.

A few generations back, it was expected that half of your children would die before they reached their fifth birthday.

Death is inevitable, but that doesn't mean we need to accept that all the things that could kill us are also inevitable.

There is no we. You can talk about what you accept or dont accept for yourself. Not for anyone else unless you take responsibility for their life if something bad happens. And currently when some unintended side effect happens or quality of life degenates guess what the health care system does? Just gives you more bills and asks you to talk to their lawyers. Its very easy to talk about "we" have to do this and that. But the test is always who takes responsibility after things dont go the way they think.
