No. That's faulty logic and dangerous. People don't have a right to harm themselves like this.With every right, there is the reverse-right. There is free speech, and there is the right to remain silent. It is using your right, your freedom to any degree you want. As such since there as been established through court cases, that there is a right to life; then there is a right to death, and people should be able to commit suicide, if they so please.
Suicide for people who aren't terminally ill is a bad solution and people who feel suicidal need our help because clinical depression is a medical condition that affects how you think and impairs your judgement. When you're thinking clearly you're free to contemplate suicide, but of course if you did that you wouldn't be thinking clearly and we would know you needed help. It's a catch-22, but a good and necessary one to keep people from harming themselves.
