CMV: Suicide is a fundamental human right for all people regardless of their situation, and forcing people to live is a form of slavery.

You can't truly have the right to life without having the right to end it. Your life is first and foremost owned by you, and thus you have the right to destroy it. Anyone else stopping you using your own life how you want when it doesn't affect others is abusing you. 

Yes there is the "irrationality" argument that suicide for generally physically healthy people can only be a decision when they are not in a rational state to decide. This is problematic for multiple reasons


- There is no reason for suicide to be an irrational decision if it is a cost benefit analysis between the net expected benefits and suffering of life for a person. That's as rational as any analysis can get.
- It is a completely subjective value judgement to decide if someone's preferences or conceptions of benefits and suffering is rational or not.
- There is no way to rigorously justify that society knows what is better for an individual than they do themselves. In fact since the individual is the one with first hand experience of their life, they are likely to be more informed.
- People may be irrational in short periods of time where they haven't conducted a cost benefit analysis of life but some people are suicidal their whole lives and you cannot state that they are constantly in a state of irrationality, especially if they are functioning members of society which most of them are. 
- Reasons for supposed suicide "irrationality" may be untreatable mental illness brain chemistry, or untreatable physical chronic illness. This is not irrationality and represents a suffering a rational individual may chose not to want to live with.

It is not automatically true that everyone snaps out of wanting to be suicidal or will eventually be glad they didn't do it. Plenty of suicidal people will die of other causes, and also plenty of the people who would likely not snap out of it will go to extreme (stressful and even more unpleasant) lengths to kill themselves whatever barriers are placed in front of them so it is not the case that everyone does snap out of it. 

But the most compelling reason that suicide is a human right isn't to do with rationality at all, it's to do with consent. In every other decision people make, we value consent and the fact that we don't value consent with the right to live vs die is hypocritical. No one can be forced into a job they don't want. No one can be forced to date someone they aren't interested in or associate with people they dislike. So why can we force people into a life they don't like? That is violating their consent of the experiences they are willing to undergo. I don't owe it to anyone to date or associate with them or to work for them. So I don't it to owe anyone to live for them.
 
Therefore, forcing people to not be allowed to commit suicide is forcing them into a form of slavery, where they have to work in a life, live with people, and live in places they don't want to. Forcing people to live is as bad as forcing people to take up certain activities they don't want to. And if there is no activity a person wants to take up then so be it. They fundamentally deserve autonomy.  

Edit: Just for clarification I am pro people undergoing a set duration of therapy in order to make them "see the light" and not act "irrational", but if beyond that people are still suicidal they should be allowed to die.

Should people have this right no matter what age they are? Suppose there's a four year old, who wants to exercise this right. They understand the difference between existing and not existing, that this decision is permanent, and that they might change their minds if they waited long enough. They understand that, and they'd still like to go through with suicide.
