The answer definitely depends on the situation.
I could decide right now that despite all the loving care my parents have given me in their life that it would be funny to kill myself just to leave them distraught because I feel like it.
I could get a drill and give myself some sort of crude lobotomy right here in the living room where they would find me and probably scream and cry and be mentally scarred for the rest of their lives.
On the other hand I might be 89 years old, diagnosed with cancer of an unknown primary origin that's scattered through my body and incurable while at the same time as being riddled with arthritis and I might just want too much morphine so I can finally die.
It's like asking is eating food morally wrong?
It is if you're fat and you just had a 3 course meal and next to you is a person dying of starvation and you're eating his food aswell as what you just ate. It isn't if you're very hungry.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
