Sure, you may know someone who suffered every single day until they died, and you may have been there 24/7 to see them suffer should not be sufficient to make you think that suicide is okay. Also, recall what Mr. Lincoln said!!!
"The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to
deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just." -
Abraham Lincoln
See!! Gotta keep fighting, god damn it! Don't kill yourself, or you will just send out a message of cowardism. Fight to the bitter end and people will remember you for how fucking tough you were! What isn't respectable about that?

I understand the opinion, and to a point I agree with you, but as you can see on this thread, there are probably more people who will take the route of suffering for a few years than the quick way out.
Thats where your scientists can study.
I believe the
option should be there.
