I am going to guess that if they are committing suicide and not sacrificing their lives to save someone else then someone intending to commit suicide and also attempting to commit suicide is on the spiritual path of a downgrade and not an updgrade

Sacrifice can be different than suicide
Sacrifice can involve risking your life to do good or avoid evil
