On the point about haircuts = murder, the difference is that it is *your* DNA, *your* life. Suicide should not be illegal, or count as murder of yourself.

The point is human DNA =\= human life.
But, if it makes you feel better, how about this one:
Any person cremating a dead body before it decomposes is guilty of murder, since the cells of the body are still alive.
