I certainly don’t think so. The right to live as you please should also extend to not live as you please. However just as we should make knowledgeable medical professionals available to those seeking gender or reproductive care, we should do the same seeking of life care.
I get regular blood tests to ensure medication is working as intended, so mental health screening should be applied to those suffering from depression or other mental health issues to ensure that their given adequate alternatives. While still remaining available to those suffering chronic conditions that significantly affect quality of life. I am also a disabled person who live in persistent pain without a clear end date. Who is to say when exactly another person life suffering should be extended purely for the sake of extending life irrespective of the quality?
At the end of the day, bodily autonomy is the ideal but informed consent given by medical professional about risks and alternatives is the method.
