There's morally permissible and then there's morally optimal. Quite a few moral codes would find allowing somebody to kill himself permissible, but pretty much all of them would agree that stopping him is morally optimal.

To put it another way, it's not wrong if you don't stop a suicide, but it's most right if you do.

There is no such thing as an absolute moral code.
