Honestly, I probably still wouldn't risk it, because if you don't die, you'd have some very severe burns. I'd opt for a number of different options before I get anywhere close to electricity.

Oh, absolutely. Electrocution is very low on my list of ways to kill myself. Nitrogen asphyxiation is definitely number one, hemlock tea is number two (both water hemlock and poison hemlock are fairly common in the US). Electrocution is probably slightly above hanging, but just below standing in front of an express train.

Eh, I'd go with doctor assisted suicide as number one, but apparently we can't have nice things here. Otherwise, I like your list.

To be clear, I'm nowhere near a place where I'd consider any of them though.
