I certainly don't advocation allowing a healthy person to end their life because they have a chance at things getting better.
This is gambling with other people's lives. If such a healthy person is forced to stay alive, things might never actually get better, and they will have suffered needlessly by staying alive. (And if things do get better, that is merely relief from suffering.)
On the other hand, if such a healthy person is allowed to end their life, that's all there is to it. They'll never regret it.
Besides, if you deny people professional help with ending their lives, they will try to get the job done themselves, often with bad results.
