Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?

My parents and friends invest in their relationships with me. Do I have a right to unilaterally throw away all of that? What if I have a mortgage or other pending agreements? Does death mean not having to honor your word?

I understand that some people are in a spiritual black hole, and can never escape. That's terrible. However, others are in a rage equally uncontrollable, and when they commit murder, they are held accountable.

Nobody has a right to control someone else's body because they've at some time "invested" in them. Would you be supportive of the state controlling a pregnant woman's body as they see fit because they've at some time invested in her?

Our body is our choice. Nobody else should have power to control that aspect of our life. We don't ask to be born, we should have every right to return the life we've been unsolicitedly forced upon if we wanted to.

If I have to pay off a loan and then one day I've had enough, I should be able to go to a suicide clinic and be done with it, they can accept my death as punishment I've given myself for not being able to honor my word.
