They have the right to commit suicide as it is their life that they are taking. However, there may be a reasonable question as to the person's mental capacity or motivation for wishing to do so. That is an issue that may be properly raised, but there is a legal route for so doing, such as by having a guardian appointed when a person threatens to take his/her own life.
My thinking is that most forms of life, even imperfect ones, are usually better than death. Except in exceptional circumstances (and one must define "exceptional" for oneself), someone can generally "repurpose" their life and reinvent themself to make life worthwhile. I purposely omit any religious "advantages" of death, which I, for one, discount.
For some, life is not always better than death, such as incurable and painful poor health that will surely result in death in the short term. In that case hospice care is far preferable than an affirmative act of suicide, as hospice attends to both the ill person and the family. Suicide, by its nature, affects more people than the soon-to-be-deceased. Therefore, unless plans have been made for those who depend upon that person, it seems to me to be a selfish act.
