In most developed-world societies, definitely not. There are extensive restrictions on suicide, volunteering for cannibalism, disposal of bodies, etc.

So then I assume you support prohibitions on drug use, the draft, etc.

Sure! Driving while stoned/drunk should be illegal so someone else's drug use doesn't kill me, and the draft has a place for true national emergencies like another world war or something like Yellowstone cooking off. I like being part of a society that doesn't look like a MMA free-for-all.
