While trying not to be disrespectful, I must say that I do not understand the question as posed "Should We Have The Basic Right To End Our Lives?"
You either have the right or you do not. Self ownership would imply that the right in question is preexisting.
"Going through proper channels" need not apply, if it is a right.
However, if you are merely suffering from depression, or change in life situation, and others depend upon you, then it might be selfish or even negligent. But you still have the right.
Every situation is different, but to ask permission from any authority is very dangerous. They may use the pretense for more nefarious reasons.
You have rights because you are alive. That is a gift which should not be wasted.
Just my opinion.
