Everyone should be able to live their life as they please. This implies that everybody should be able to end their life. If somebody decides on killing him/herself you can´t forbid it without violating his/her basic rights.
I don´t know if this conclusion is transferable to people who are non compos mentis and can´t estimate the consequences of their actions or may not have their wits about them while deciding on killing themselves.
