Ok, first of all, I do have to ask: are you a non-native English speaker? The mechanics here could use a little work iff you’re native, but if you’re non-native, they’re quite good and the flaws are easily forgivable.
Now, main point: personally, I see no point going on Grand Religious Crusades about death—for or against. If someone really, truly does want to die (and there are plenty of days I think, “how could I ever put up with this shit we call life forever!?” myself), we should let them. If someone really, truly does not want to die, and isn’t doing any damage to anything we consider ethically valuable by not-dying (ie: other people, ecological sustainability, the things I’m forgetting right now but will think of later), then we should be developing ways to enable that preference.
There’s really no need to enforce a single choice for everyone. There’s no need for huge flamewars about it, or at least, not massive flamewars here, where it is automatically presumed that dying is a value decision people should have the opportunity to make for themselves.
One minor thing: “A” is normally the indefinite article used before utilitarian, as in “A utilitarian should...” rather than “An utilitarian should....”
The “u” in utilitarian is pronounced like “you” not “oo.”

I’m non-native. German actually. I know of some flaws I make esp. if I’m in a hast. Comma placement being one.
Like I said, for a nonnative speaker, you’re quite good, so the message got across.
Now I’m curious. I’d like to improve. What ‘flaws’ stand out?
It looks pretty good to me.

Yes. Such happens when you speak only 1/100th or what you read.
