The virtuous Stoic will not lose his virtue whether he lives or dies; but it is legitimate for him, when faced with what the non-Stoic would regard as intolerable evils, to make a rational choice to depart from life. — Anthony Kenny (An Illustrated Brief History Of Western Philosophy

I think it is confused to put it in moral terms. People don't want to continue suffering. Or in the I would rather not live scenario, they don't want to experience X. And it is obviously quite a strong emotional/desire rejection of that life or living. It's neither a rational nor a moral decision - which by the way does not mean it is irrational. It is non-rational.That is my point, it is impossible to make a purely rational decision. If in the third scenario you say that you would rather not be born then then that would mean that what happened in your life is objectively wrong, — I love Chom-choms
