Without euthanasia. A person in that situation can and will choose other means to kill himself/herself.

Any citations for this? That’s an assumption.

Why would this could be assumption? There are suicide cases daily.

That's one statistic - do we have any statistics around those that would take euthanasia if available but end up not committing suicide? No, we likely don't have those statistics but they are equally important to the equation here.
It also begs the question, are the people in these situations even mentally fit enough to make the decision rationally? With the limited context I have, I don’t think so.
There’d also a lot of reliance on the doctor’s “its never going to get better” - yet time and time again with physical ailments we hear of the impossibility of recovery yet many do recover.
