Regardless of the intent any act of self harm is a sign of mental illness in my book.

I can see many reasons for self harm. Hunger strikes are self harm, standing in front of a tank risks great self harm. I would never want to have to do it but I would love to be able to and have the courage to like the monk did way back when if I was in a similar situation.
