Presentation transcript:

1. The Supreme Court has found that there is no constitutionally protected right to die because

A. It would be superfluous because of the common law right to refuse medical treatment, derived from the law of battery.

B. The right to bodily integrity is not a liberty interest within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.

C. The Court does not recognize personal autonomy as a constitutional value.

D. The common law has always distinguished between the right to refuse lifesaving medical treatment and the legitimacy of ending ones life with anothers assistance.

A. It would be superfluous because of the common law right to refuse medical treatment, derived from the law of battery. The Court recognized an interest of terminally ill patients in hastening death, which tort law does not protect.

B. The right to bodily integrity is not a liberty interest within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court does recognize such an interest in the contexts of procreation, contraception, abortion, and the right to refuse treatment.

C. The Court does not recognize personal autonomy as a constitutional value. The Court recognizes personal autonomy with respect to marriage, the right to educate ones children, contraception, and the right to refuse treatment.

D. The common law has always distinguished between the right to refuse lifesaving medical treatment and the legitimacy of ending ones life with anothers assistance. This is precisely the distinction the Court made.

B. The right to bodily integrity is not a liberty interest within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court does recognize such an interest. Not a good answer; this is conclusory.

B. The right to bodily integrity is not a liberty interest within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court does recognize such an interest in the contexts of procreation, contraception, abortion, and the right to refuse treatment. This is a much more concrete and persuasive answer because it has examples.
