"Suicide in an acceptable manner" sounds as like an oxymoron.
Why would you care that it's "acceptable" by society which you will no longer take part of ? If your concern is pain, then perhaps that is your mind telling you NOT to end your life and seek therapy instead.
Assisted suicide only makes sense in situations where the person is in extreme chronic pain and no palliative care or treatment can be provided, which is rather rare.
We should not be encouraging or celebrating suicide, it takes away innocent lives, especially younger ones. If you ask the survivors, many of them are glad they didn't go through with it.
Acceptable by the person who wants to die. That usually means not too painful, and not causing more stress than necessary to the persons you care about.
Wanting to avoid pain is very much not a reason to seek therapy, what an absurd thought.

As medicine and technology advance, assisted suicide will make sense/be required in nearly 100% of natural human deaths. With enough money, we will be able to keep people "alive" (on paper) arbitrarily long. It will be nothing like what people think of when they describe extended lifespan, but turning off all the robotic parts will still be tantamount to assisted suicide.
If you're (a) unconscious, (b) hooked up to a bunch of machines, and (c) can't wake up or live without an operational hookup to those machines, then: When the doctors turn them off that is neither suicide nor murder. It will be then, as it largely is now, an informed decision made by medical staff and next of kin.
