If you think that very few people "decide to murder", you apparently don't pay attention much.You are still applying a double standard. If a person who will commit suicide goes out and buys a gun, or a rope, or some duct tape for the hose running from his car exhaust, is this not proof of premeditation? And yet you will still, I presume, consider them lacking clear enough insight to consider fully the consequences of their actions-- though a murderer, buying those exact same items for the execution of HIS impulse, you will condemn on the grounds that this type of premeditation indicates sufficient self-control to establish moral agency.

Well then based on your train of thought, how exactly would you punish someone who has killed himself? Honestly, your argument is redundant and lacking any sort of real depth.
