Actually that's not the reason for me.
That reason is that I have lived a long time with myself and except for what one might call reasons of self preservation (avoidance of torture and terminal illness etc), I would prefer not to have my last moments associated with violence.
A couple of my good friends suicided and it is particularly painful. It's not something I wanna be part of. Anyway I'm 52, and when it's over it will feel like the last 20 or whatever years went by in the blink of an eye.
Our culturally determined expectations are too high IMO.
