^^ I disagree completely on that, I think he would have chosen death over becoming what he is now.

Remember how he got into this in the first place: He disobeyed direct orders, and went off on his own to help Amon. As he's running off, he's quoting regulations about following orders. In that moment, he is sacrificing his career for his friends. Because if he had made it back in one piece, he would have faced serious punishment for disobeying orders and abandoning his post. He had essentially thrown away any chances of advancement, and risked losing his job.
