Don't raw utilitarians mind being killed by somebody who thinks they suffer too much?
Of course they mind, since they disagree and think that someone is wrong! If they don't disagree, either they've killed themselves already or it becomes an assisted suicide scenario.
Yeah, right, thanks.
Why would we care what someone else thinks?
As to if I thought I suffer too much, and that I wouldn't do much to help anyone else out, just because I have an explicit preference to die doesn't mean that I don't have instincts that resist it.
Because, as long as I understand, if utilitarian thinks that killing you will have positive expected utility, he ought to kill you.
So, if you were completely rational, you would kill yourself without hesitation in this situation, right?
Just in case, I didn't downvote you.
