If you cloned your self then killed your twin would that be murder or suicide?

This is an interesting philosophical question, but I think the answer is quite straight forward. Just because the clone came about from an existing human does not prevent them from being a separate individual with all the rights and obligations of a separate individual. The easiest answer to the question lies in identical twins. Identical twins started off in the world as a single fertilized egg. At some inexplicable point the egg divides into two beings with the identical DNA. They are actually clones. If later on one twin should kill the other, it would be murder. The same would go for someone who were to kill their own clone. It would surely be murder.

Is kiLling onE's self a murder or suicide?
I'd imagine that to kill one's self would be suicide. Even if one were speaking philisophically, the death of one's conciousness or physical being by that same person would fit the definition of "suicide" and not "murder," which is to kill another living thing. Unless the person in question is somehow separate from their physical body or conciousness (and I don't see how that's possible), it would be suicide in any way.

Did Jesus commit suicide by allowing himself to be killed?
not technically If you stand on a railroad tracks and you saw a train coming and you don't step aside, that would be suicide. If as you say, Jesus knows that he will be killed and did nothing to avoid it, then I think that is tantamount to Jesus committing suicide.
What if the Church refused a Christian burial for a suicide which turned out to be a murder?
That would be sad. I do not think the church would refuse a Christian burial for a suicide case of a Catholic. Only God can judge the mind of the victim.
