There's an issue of terminology here. What you describe is not a right, it's an obligation. If some action is a right, you can choose not to do it.

Rhetorics aside, the power to turn yourself off is very important. Taking away this power has been used throughout history as a means to intensify torture. For someone in suffering, the power to end your life can literaly be the difference between complete powerlessness and empowerment. I've been through a few bouts of depression and can confirm this first-hand.
