Physician-Assisted Suicide: Does "The End" Justify the Means?

Abstract

This Note explores Washington v. Glucksberg and Vacco v. Quill, two recent United States Supreme Court decisions addressing the physician-assisted suicide. This Note argues against the legalization of physician-assisted suicide, finding that any advantages gained by legalizing it are outweighed by the potential for abuse of the system and by the diversion of attention and funds away from improving treatment of depression in the terminally ill.
