I would define the vast majority of people actively seeking their own death to be not of sound mind, for the very first issue.

I think in many--maybe most--cases that's true. There are situations where rational people may wish to no longer live. Intolerable quality of life from disease or other mental/physical affliction. Intolerable quality of life from old age. etc.

If an adult, of sound mind, without any coercion, wants to kill himself or herself, so be it imho.
