Should people have the right to end their own lives?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should people have the right to end their own lives?". Your opponent's style: Christopher Hitchens

First I wanted to define end their own lives. This means that the act that the person do to him/her self to end him/her own life, like committing sweside. While it is very true that we should save the people who is trying, but just like real life we will just try to convince them, if that is no use then there is no responsibility of the government nor the people care, because it is there own choice of life.

You're describing a right to suicide based on personal autonomy—that's precisely where your argument collapses. Autonomy means nothing if you're depressed, in crisis, or mentally compromised. A suicidal person isn't making a free choice any more than someone jumping off a building during a psychotic break is exercising self-determination. And your "no responsibility" claim is dangerous sophistry. We don't abandon people because they're suffering. Society has a stake in preserving life—you lose taxpayers, parents lose children, communities fracture. The government's job is precisely to intervene when someone's in crisis, not shrug and call it choice. You're confusing liberty with abandonment. That's not freedom, that's callousness dressed up as principle.

Well you are right, but why should the society care, is like someone who ones said:" If I died right now the earth will still run"

That's cosmically true but morally useless. Yes, Earth spins on without you—that's not an argument for giving up on life, it's an argument for why society *must* care more, not less. Because we're social creatures. Your death devastates the people closest to you. A parent who loses a child doesn't get comfort from "the earth keeps turning." Your coworkers, friends, siblings—they're left cleaning up the wreckage of your decision. More fundamentally: that nihilistic logic cuts both ways. If nothing matters, then suffering doesn't matter either. But if we're going to admit suffering is real and brutal, then we're admitting life has weight. And if life has weight, we have obligations to preserve it. You can't have it both ways.
