I am an avid euthanasia supporter since that experience, it would be so easy to go like I've been put under that I would instantly take that option over slowly withering away in a random other way.

Absolutely.
I hope by the time I need to consider it, it is a legal option.

I’ve directed my wife to euthanize me in the case of increasing dementia. It can get to a point where you’re incapable of even making an informed decision about it.
I watched my grandmother become un-personed over the course of a decade, and there’s no way I’d ever put myself or anyone else through such a heartbreaking hell.

Lol, like people haven’t been killing themselves for millennia??? humans can jump off high things and die near instantly without euthanasia….
I don’t ever want to live in a society that promotes or welcomes, in any way, suicide….
That troubles me at least.

You will still feel the dread as you are falling. If it isn't perfect you will still have a few final moments at impact.
