Yes, but the argument is that swallowing a bunch of pills can be painful or dangerous if they get very sick before dying. And also, it may not be successful. That's why people are advocating for assisted suicide where all it takes is one pill to just put you to sleep until you die without pain.
I never imagined not wanting people who are depressed to go and hurt themselves as being a specifically religious thing. I always just thought it was a human thing. Heck, we've done it here!

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
