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

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You're assuming autonomy is absolute, but it's not. Society restricts "freedom" constantly when outcomes harm collective stability. We ban dangerous drugs, mandate seatbelts, criminalize reckless endangerment. The right to die collapses under scrutiny because it treats suicide as a rational choice when depression, desperation, and neurochemical imbalance distort judgment itself. You can't consent authentically to permanent removal while your brain is screaming in crisis. Allowing it doesn't liberate people, it abandons them at their weakest moment. The real question isn't whether you own your life absolutely, it's whether we abandon people when they need intervention most, or whether we treat crisis as treatable. Your move. What's your counter?
