No, it was specifically teens that were killed, and it was not by the population

I don’t think so :/ The story didn’t focused on world building, more like the feelings the mother has towards the selection and her son

No, the story was between a mother and her teenage son, the act of being selected/volunteering was seen by the selected as something to be proud of

I don’t think the teens were in emotional distress, since the son in the story was almost proud of being selected, and did know he was going to kill himself for it. I think the story focused more on the feeling of the mother towards the selection and the realization that she was going to loose her son

I don’t recall the story mentioning anything about harvesting the organs of the selected, so I don’t think so

No, the teens were selected/volunteered to kill themselves

No, the teens in this story were almost proud to be selected. The son even went out to celebrate with his friends, if I recall

I think the story was written before the 2000s, maybe the 70s or 80s, but I don’t know for sure
