Maybe so, none of my friends or acquaintances ever tried, but when my granpa was in hospital and suffering from cancer, that made me think on it. I don't think I would want to die that way. I would want to decide.
I think your opinion on suicide always depends on what you consider a sensible reason and that's probably different for everyone. Keeping people from killing themselves if they have a good reason for it (whether you agree it's good, or not), just because you love and don't want to lose them, is understandable, but I also think it's a good deal selfish. (Which doesn't mean I'd not try and prevent such a thing if faced with them, I'd sure try to talk them out of it.) Guess I understand both sides, really.
