When God says your time on this earth is up, it's up no matter what you do to try to extend it. Nevertheless, God takes into account your decisions that affect your health.

Yet even if it was/is a sin, God is merciful, a point people seem to forget each time they try to condemn someone's soul to (they think) eternal hell. It takes a certain arrogance to condemn others. Perhaps that type of arrogance is a sin God dislikes more than one choosing to take an over-dose to escape physical suffering. The former has its roots in pride.

if the former has it's roots in pride then the alternative in this example is what ... making thine-self superior over God (i.e. idolatry).
John 21:16
“Simon son of John, do you love me?” He (Peter) answered,
“Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care ofmysheep.”
"Take care of my sheep" --- is to love Jesus, even if that means the sheep argues "who are you to tell me" while on suicides cliff edge.
