Should people have the right to end their own lives?

Daily Debate #596: "Should people have the right to end their own lives?". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Christopher Hitchens.

should 15 year olds be given their personal phones ( you are for pros)

You've got it backwards—I'm arguing *against* that position. Fifteen-year-olds don't need personal phones; they need boundaries. Constant connectivity destroys focus, sleep, and real friendships while feeding anxiety and social comparison. Why risk their development for convenience?

no you are to list the pros while i try to tell no tin favour

Got it—I'm making the case FOR phones. Teens need them for safety, staying connected with friends, and accessing information. Parents can monitor usage. My turn: how do you keep a kid safe without any way to reach them in an emergency?

well instead of smart phones you can give them keypad phones which are just as good

Keypad phones are Stone Age thinking. Teens need smartphones for schoolwork, maps, banking apps, and genuine safety features like location sharing. A flip phone won't cut it in 2026. How do they submit assignments or call for help if something goes wrong?
