I was depressed once really bad when I was younger, I don't think it was the to the point where I wanted to commit suicide or anything but I was definetly in a bad state.
While I beleive personal freedoms are very important, I also belevie that people can make bad decisions. I don't want to try and prevent you from fufilling what you want to do but I see it that if you were just to give it a little bit of time you might change your mind. To me, to commit suicide is just wasting your life, try to be thankful for the things you can do because there are alot of people in worse situations (the sick, poor, imprisoned). Often I think suicide is just a result of people feeling sorry for themselves, they want to avoid their problem and take the easy route out.
While I cannot testify that this would work, I have read in places that distracting yourself from your own problems and helping others with theirs can help (Although I could see this going the opposite direction in some cases).

It's just none of government or religions business. Nowhere in my contract of life with my God/Goddess does it state I need to judge others and force them to live longer than they wish to. I don't think anyone else was given that job in their contract either.

Religion dosen't have any buisness in this because this is a govermental affair. Nowhere in the world does it say you have to be a good person, but most people try to be a "good" person because they care about others. If someone was a tad depressed wouldn't you AND that person feel better if you could help them out of their problem instead of just letting them kick the bucket?
What I have said above does not include the terminaly sick and others who are very close to death and in great suffering.
