The One above never granted a “right to die”, especially a “right” to murder oneself.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that the right doesn't exist. The One above might very well recognize such a right in some cases...

There is no record of that One ever granting a “right to die” as the world is defining it—and the opposite is in fact commanded in places like Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17. Certainly the prophet Elisha never thought of committing suicide (self-murder) when he suffered from his fatal illness, nor did Job even think of demanding a “right to die” when he was suffering from boils all over his skin. Elijah wanted to die when he lost heart after Jezebel killed the other prophets of God, but he asked for his life to be taken from him rather than the “right” to do it himself.
