^Funny how nobody dares take the word 'coward' in the mouth,regarding Arima's case. He actually did it, Kaneki didn't.

First a coward is someone who desperately wants to live, now it's also someone who commits suicide... (not in my subjective opinion though)

Someone who wants to live isn't a coward & someone who commits suicide isn't one either, at least not in Kaneki's case. There's one fundamental difference between Kaneki and cowards. Cowards succeed in avoiding danger, problems and pain. Kaneki was thrown in a world of danger, problems and pain and has been able to keep standing, not by running from everything, but by fighting his way out of it. A coward has never experienced this, while Kaneki has, a dozen times over. It would be more acceptable for me if you used the word 'sentimental weakness' or just simply 'empathy'. That's what makes Kaneki such a softy, not cowardice.
