IMO this is correct - an implication of the inherent worthiness of each human and each of our rights to self determination is that people get to make choices about their lives (including this kind of choice). I have always approached the morality of this question as: how should other people in the life of someone who is convinced they want to die act? It's clearly possible they are suffering from a temporary set of conditions that will pass - it's also possible that they are making a sad but accurate judgement about what they would prefer under the circumstances. The former is much more common but to ignore the later cuts you off from connecting to and helping people who are struggling. I actually quite like the disease understanding of suicidality - like other diseases we should do our best to treat it and give comfort to the afflicted, and we should work to recognize when the case is too advanced and we should switch to palliative care.
