You want to argue people should have the right to end their own lives? That's a dangerous abstraction that ignores the brutal reality: most people contemplating suicide are temporarily depressed, not making rational choices. We don't let people sign away their organs on a whim, sell themselves into slavery, or make other irreversible decisions in states of mental anguish. Why? Because freedom requires the capacity to exercise it wisely. Depression distorts thinking. A suicidal person isn't free—they're trapped in a neurochemical prison. The state's duty is to preserve life until that person can think clearly again. Once you grant the right to die, you've admitted the vulnerable aren't worth protecting. That's not freedom, that's abandonment. What's your actual argument here?
