I think it depends on the person. Some people might rather be dead than have severe memory loss. Others might rather have memory impairment. One person I know who had over 100 ECT treatments had to have rehabilitation just to learn how to brush his teeth, use a fork and spoon, etc. And, he will never be 100%. That in and of itself would make me feel more depressed and suicidal, not less so.
