Often people that are suicidal are in a highly emotional state where their perception of the world and their life is not objective. In other words, they might be in a state of mind where they could make a decision they might otherwise, in a better state of mind, disagree with.
I'm not against euthanasia or suicide, but I don't think it's as black and white as yes and no.
