Not sure people are generally arguing different.

Most people consider other people who want to kill themselves in a point in time as having temporary insanity so stopping them in the act is ok, because it is not 'them'.

It is also ok to want to stop people wanting to long term kill themselves like stopping adictive behavior.

Using force here might be controversial but we can just do the same playbook as addiction.
