shua raises an interesting point. Value is ultimately determined by what one values, so yes, it is possible to have a legitimate reason for self-harm, if that reason is well thought out. However, that doesn't make it unselfish or immoral necessarily, since self-harm can also harm others. An obvious example is an airplane pilot who commits suicide by crashing into a mountain with passengers onboard, but even mundane cases of suicide can have the same harmful effects. e.g., you are depriving someone of a person that they love.
