Yea, this is assuming OP it isn’t in a constant state of pain.
What if - being in a conscious coma is worse than dying? What if it isn’t a dream-like wonder of your own world? What if you lay there and you can’t dream? You can’t sleep, you can’t move, you feel everything, you can’t focus or meditate, you just lie there is permanent torture that you can’t stop.
I don’t know why people imagine the cleanest possible scenario for their fantasy play throughs.
At least imagine the dirty murky ones if you refuse to imagine the worst case.
Something I teach with self-defense is ”Ok, you have made peace with yourself that if a 6’4 meth addled line backer breaks in to your house in a rage, you are morally checked out to end them - now what about a pregnant 14yo girl and you can’t see her hands? Maybe, consider your best first move to be asking them to leave?” … don’t be absolute with anything that you plan for.
You might be able to simulate that with psychedelics, meditation, or perhaps if they ever figure out how to reliably induce specific states with trans-cranial magnetic stimulation. Then someone can make a choice.

I know of others who experience what is typically called “sleep paralysis”. It often comes with hallucinations and night terrors.
