That is a false analogy. You cannot analguously represent the beauty of death. You do not have to do anything if you are dead. Nothing at all.

When a person kills themselves it isn't because they want to die, it is because they don't want to live the way they are living.
Perhaps you are focusing too much on "a solution" rather than the benefits. I am perfectly happy right now. If I kill myself, then my life will end on a very happy note and that I controlled it and experienced it all on my own. There is no fact that I do not like the way I am living, I simply can kill myself and also prevent anything from ruining my current life.

Becoming nothing isn't a solution, it is a non-solution.

If a child is born with a defect are you fixing the problem by killing him?
(genocide analogy again blah blah).
Fixing would be fixing the defect and the child still living. However, if you kill the child, neither the child nor you have to worry about the defect anymore.

Yes, genocide analogy is close but someone has to do the killing. Mass suicide leaves no one left after.
