the big question is why do you get to choose that for me or why is it society's choice and not my own? assuming I'm of a healthy mental state.

If you want to kill yourself the way many old people have done forever (by no longer eating), in most cases society doesn’t have a say.

If you want to involve society by petitioning the courts to have a doctor kill you, society gets a say because you’ve involved society.

There’s no country with assisted suicide laws where society doesn’t get a say because killing someone by default is murder, and exceptions must be highly regulated.

Because we can't make it so that your choice isn't influenced by society.
