Would it count as suicide anymore?
I mean I don’t see any difference between death and reincarnating without past memories.
In that case, people with retrograde amnesia are already dead and we should just consider them a new legal person…

Yes. That’s actually how that works.

If no one can identify you and you have the physical symptoms of amnesia (which can be detected… Sorry fakers!) then you get a new, legal identity.
