Conversely, if a human wants to commit suicide, it is unhealthy and usually we try to help unhealthy people become healthy, especially when probable death is involved. Actually aiding a suicide, rather than helping an individual get better, is a lot like murder.
What a splendid display of circular reasoning, religious upbringings do wonders for the mind

On the off-chance you're not just trolling, you honestly can't see how, say, antibiotics etc argue against your favour here? "Life's" functions are dictated by the law of large numbers, the individual is meaningless and thereby a singular suicide has no bearing on what you're trying to say here. The "function" of "life" is not to perpetuate as many individuals to as long an existence in space-time as possible, if anything it's concerned with passing the code along. If the code was "transcribed" incorrectly, then it doesn't "deserve" to get passed on, whereby suicide is not only reasonable, it is in fact demanded by the dicdatum of "Life". See how vague and vapid metaphors can be used to argue whatever position one finds fanciable?
