I understand if you choose not to answer this. You say you would jump at euthanasia. Why do you not just take your own life in a more "conventional" way?

I think most of us have this idea that if we don't take a drastic attempt like jumping off a bridge or hanging from a ceiling fan, we aren't suffering enough. In my case, I suppose I was looking for something painless hence a bottle of pills.

Perhaps our biological instinct for survival simply kicks in and whereas many people all throughout history have taken direct/bloody route to an exit, some of us just can't seem to do it.

Things are usually structured to prevent suicides. For example windows in tall buildings are locked, helium gas for balloons is now mixed with oxygen.

Most methods have non zero chance of survival and consequences.

You weren't built to kill yourself, you were built to survive. That makes it difficult to harm yourself even if it would allow escape.

The world has too many people, why not let those who want to leave leave

The more guaranteed conventional ways tend to leave a body for someone to be traumatized by.
