Should We Have The Basic Right To End Our Lives?

I agree that if it is a right you shouldnt need to go through proper channels, however in this one case I think that doing so and dealing with the time delay of bureaucracy is a good idea because it dissuades people who are momentarily suicidal. Like you said that might not be defined as a right though.

I don't need any so called "authority" to define my rights. I know what they are, and I can not see how some bureaucracy is going to dissuade someone who is momentarily suicidal, but intent on doing so.

If I want to kill myself, I will do it. I need not ask for permission. How many ways can you think that could be accomplished, without someone else's permission? I could easily put a bullet in my head, but that would be selfish, because someone is going to have to clean up the mess.

I understand that there are cases of imminent and painful death that some may wish to avoid. But that is a personal choice.

My point is; Government should have no say in these personal matters.
