No I dont believe so. Suicide is willfully taking your own life. Theres no evidence that that pill would save you. Drugs work different on different people. I know many people whowill not take any type of drugs at all not even aspirin. So Id have to say no. Peace out.................

Well it depends on the point of view of different religions, but personally I don't consider it suicide; imagine the same situation years before the invention of the pill, the person would die anyway. There is no comparison between a person who pulls a gun to his head or poisons himself with another who will eventually die for a medical condition, I know it's pretty silly, but some times people make this kind of choices. The point is that technology has advanced in order to make our lives easier but It's our decision to use it or not.

It would be voluntary death, but then again, if you don't actually want to die, and you avoid taking the pill because you don't think it's ethical or something, then it's not suicide.

Probably. It would only actually BE suicide if the person was actually trying to terminate their life. I.e., not trying an alternative therapy.

I wouldn't think so. Taking pills, especially chemically created ones, is not natural. It's a good idea if you want to live, but it isn't natural, so not taking them wouldn't be killing yourself, you'd be naturally dying.

if you didn't eat every day because you didn't want to, or breathe, then yes. It would.
A concscious descision to end your life is suicide.
