Description
Less than two years after the citizens of Washington voted by referendum to uphold the state's prohibition of physician-assisted suicide, a federal judge invalidated the statute as unconstitutional. In Roe v. Washington, decided on May 3, 1994, Judge Barbara Rothstein cited the Supreme Court's definition of "liberty" in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992): "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life." Judge Rothstein reasoned that if the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment recognizes such "liberty" in the matter of abortion, liberty must also include the fight of a mentally competent, terminally ill adult to commit suicide. From this conclusion, it would seem to follow that a physician does nothing wrongful in assisting a perfectly legal act.
