I think everyone has a right to die but everyone has an even bigger right to have their mentally well self identified as their true selves more than their mentally unwell suicidal self.
The way I see it, a person is more than their present wishes. If I was severely mentally ill and suicidal now my present wish would be to die, but my wish a few weeks or months later after I recovered would be completely different.
It's only with hopeless mentally ill or physically terminally ill cases where I would support a right to die.
I used to think otherwise but I changed my mind, and I will admit that is partly due to the fact that if I'd got what I wanted when I was suicidally depressed in the past I wouldn't be here today. I am very grateful that not only my suicide attempt failed but other people saved me from myself to prevent me from doing it again.
