Abstract

This Article addresses two important issues of constitutional law. First, as a matter of substantive constitutional law, do statutes criminalizing assisted suicide violate the liberty or privacy rights of terminally ill people who seek physician assistance in hastening death? Second, if criminal laws against physician-assisted suicide violate the constitutional rights of some, but not all, of the people they affect, when and how should courts remedy this violation?
