Opiates aren’t easily available to most, and illegal. I’m talking about totally legal and totally painless method here, as in the novel. There’d be a lot of takers if friction is reduced. Heck, I bet every person’s life has low points where continuing seems pointless. I had a few moments like that myself when I was younger and expect to have more of them as I get older. I’m only really still alive because dying is a high friction process.
