Consider this analogy: you should be allowed to put a gun to your own head and pull the trigger. You should not be allowed to put on a suicide vest and blow yourself up in a group of people.

To the first, yes, I do believe that we humans SHOULD have a right to commit suicide. It should be a right to end your own life.

We have a 'right' drink a handle of whiskey a day, up to the point we get liver disease. Same with smoking 3 packs a day of cigarettes. Same with horrendous diet. But those ways of killing yourself are "acceptable" and also legal. But they're slower.

The second, you're harming other people. That example is blatantly ridiculous, and appears just to gain an emotional response by invoking terrorism.

"you're harming other people", yes as in the case where you are contagious.

Have you watched a movie lately? Talk about contagious violence. I can tell you this, your fate is just a blip on the back side of other people's large screen TV where the movies are shown.
