You were given life to live and you'll die when fate has it in store for you. Ending your life yourself would just be a waste.
For those who don't believe in fate or a superior being (including myself) the argument doesn't work.

Maybe because you always have the option when to die, but not when to live. You'll most likely think twice before you unexist yourself unless you have a very strong reason to do so.
Agreed. However, my point was not that suicide should be an option that should be as easily taken as what to eat for breakfast, just that it should be a freedom guaranteed to every human being, as important as the freedom to live with dignity.
