It's the same concept IMO. For women, it's their body and they have the right to choose whether or not to keep the child. I think the same concept should apply to suicide. If someone is miserable, depressed, chronically ill, disabled, etc, then it should be 100% their choice to end their lives. It's inhumane to force people to take their own lives using makeshift methods which can result in brain damage or permanent injury (Shotgun, nitrogen gas, etc). Obviously there should be safeguards to prevent spur of the moment suicides after a traumatic event or something, but the option for a safe, sanctioned suicide should be there after proper vetting.
Edit:
A lot of people are agreeing and saying "I agree with this only for terminally ill people in pain." My entire point is that you shouldn't be able to pick and choose who gets to kill themselves.
That's like saying only rape victims or medically vulnerable mothers should be allowed to get abortions. Anyone should have access to a safe and reliable method of suicide, regardless of why they're doing it.
