I’m not changing definitions. The obvious vast moral difference between suicide and being willing to sacrifice your life for others if necessary has been clearly understood by civilized men for many centuries.

Your continuous attempts to conflate them are baffling.

“The obvious vast moral difference between suicide and being willing to sacrifice your life for others if necessary has been clearly understood by civilized men for many centuries.”

Then define it. Something as magic/subjective as “I know it when I see it” has no place in the law.

I’ve given you two definitions, the one I’ve been using the entire time, and the dictionary definition, neither of those discriminates upon the motive of the man but his action only.
