I think that covers mental illness, war, dying in a fire while rescuing kittens, emo cutting, etc.
If you could stop the pain without dying, would you still kill yourself?
If you could escape depression without dying, would you still kill yourself?
If you could find meaning in your existence without dying, would you still kill yourself?
If you could go to heaven (or whatever magic place you believe is better than your present situation) without dying, would you still kill yourself?
If you could kill yourself without dying, would you still kill yourself? (Weird I know, but for the sake of completeness)
Did I miss any good reasons to kill yourself?
Or is your 'universal attribute' some sort of 'ideal' that doesn't actually ever happen and thus is completely useless for defining the set of 'human' and 'not human', let alone 'moral' and 'immoral'.
Yes. I think the point of confusion is around "universality". I'm not talking about a unanimous agreement on preference between people born and unborn, I'm talking about attributes that define kindness (the set theory kind, not the Disney princess kind). I was hoping to make that clear with the perfect circle bit, but I wasn't aware of contention on the issue... pretend I said square, I'm pretty sure that is a safe universal definition. I have no opinion on the morality of geometry, but all squares share universal attributes. All humans share universal attributes as well, by way of biological imperatives - life is preferable to death, all things being equal and outside of coercion.
