" Along those lines, maybe its worth also keeping in mind that life itself "really does kill people"?"

Touche. Though, I want to say that having thought about it for a long time (certainly longer than this term thus far), I do not think that a healthy (physically or mentally) individual should want/attempt to kill themselves. Others are welcome to disagree.

And, along those lines, there isn't necessarily physical illness, either? Or, something that hastens death isn't an illness, but a change in states? Of course we will all be felled at some point or another, but that doesn't mean that ailments are to be ignored, I don't think. Half the fun of life is evading death ... Or maybe more than half, even.
