Sure you can. Some things in life are asymmetric. There's a bias towards maintaining the status quo. For instance, if the police cut someone down who's trying to hang themselves, they will likely commit them involuntarily for a brief while, in the hopes that their suicidal impulse was a passing phase. Killing yourself disrupts the status quo, so we have asymmetric rules regarding it. They won't ultimately keep you from killing yourself, but they at least delay it a little. That seems quite sensible to me. You won't get much sympathy for the idea that the police egregiously violated your rights by interfering with your suicide attempt.
