Literally no one can stop you from killing yourself. You don't require approval from anyone. I'm not sure why this makes you so angry.

I tell people not to kill themselves because I am a former suicidal person who doesn't want people to make a choice they cannot undo, not because I want anything from them. If you're totally sold, it's trivially easy to end your own life.

I'll disagree with you, sure, but that's rather a moot point.

I'm Pretty sure they're speaking hypothetically, as if they were the artificial brain.

No it's not. Success rate is shit even at the highest rates.

That's intentional, not because of difficulty achieving success

You're wrong. Look it up yourself.

I'm not wrong. Women fail at suicide more than men because they generally mean it less, and often use things like pills. Men use guns more than women.

It is trivially easy to kill yourself, and it's nonsense to argue against that.
