Life doesn't come with an off button, it just keeps going until it ends. I don't know if suicide should be considered a right, because having a right implies someone granted you permission to do that, i.e. God or the State. In cultures where suicide is permitted it is highly restricted and reserved for the most sick or the most disgraced. In the US, suicide is not a right.
People certainly have the power to commit suicide, and exercise it from time to time. With that power comes the moral attitude that one is right in what they do, and that one made the decision for the right reasons. But apathy is uncalled for. At some point this man was someone's son, and someone loved him enough to see to it he grew up to be a man. Whatever drove him to end that must be horrible.
