Technically, it is. He is threatning to kill inoccent lives. Although these lives have no real meaning to them. They are constantly being interrupted by the other personalities, and so the preson has no real goals. As well, even if the persnality might pass, who knows if it, or one simialar to it, may reappear. And you can't just send it to jail, you'd be sending other innocent bystanders along with it. So if I was a Judge, I would claim this person a menace to society, maybe capitol punishment might be harsh, but if the other personalities agreed with it somehow.

It is. Assuming the person is a male, he may be feeling (at one point) he's worthy of living in this world and that taking his own life will be a loss for others. That person requires convincing negotiations to either free himself from the "self-hostage" (as to make him realize how "important" he may be in this world); or execute himself (as to make him realize how a nuissance he has become to other people). In other words, he requires a third opinion -- another person's opinion -- other than his own "opinions".
