I believe suicide is morally neutral - And I believe it is immoral to request someone who is going trough unbearable pain and suffering that they cannot end their lives because it is selfish.
I've met people who attempted suicide. It's not pretty. But such is life. There's lots of horrible things happening to people daily, everywhere around the world - People getting emotionally and physically abused, living in poverty, being harassed and coerced into doing things they didn't want to do, unemployed, heartbroken - I cannot possibly come up to someone who is in pain and tell them that they cannot end their life. It would be great if no one had to kill themselves, and I think we should try to build a society where people feel comfortable or at least neutral and have less reasons to commit suicide - But that is not the world we live in.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
