Most suicides reject their particular circumstances in life.  Their wills are thwarted by rejection.

I guess the only pure form of denying the will to live would be starvation along with not reproducing.

Still, like you, I find this point rather tedious and technical.  Cessation of Being is the final outcome.

Schopenhauer is not infallible.  We all are only guessing, including Schopenhauer.  I read him as some kind of Teacher and consider his views ... I witness the throng of humanity struggling to satisfy their wills ... and the VANITY!  And the suffering inherent in it all, no matter what culture ... Truly mind boggling. 

If there is one thing one has a right to do, that is the right to put an end to their own life ... but when there are those who depend on you, this is ethically problematic.  This may explain why there have been cases where a man or woman kills their dependents before committing the act of suicide.  Society paints these individuals as pathological monsters, when the reality of the real situation might be that they had superior compassion than society.
Things They Will Never Tell YouArthur Schopenhauer has been the most radical and defiant of all troublemakers.
