I think there are a number of arguments that you could make regarding people choosing not to commit suicide despite life being net negative, like fear, not wanting to cause harm to loved ones, etc. But the mere fact that suicide rates are not much higher suggests that people are not exercising an exit option. If lives were consistently and significantly net negative, Iād expect much more suicide.
