How dead is the federal constitutional right to assisted suicide?

F A Paola1.   

Abstract

The US Supreme Court recently upheld state laws in New York and Washington that prohibit assisted suicide. In both cases, the judgment of the Court was unanimous. Closer scrutiny of the opinions in the cases, however, suggests that we may not have seen the last of a federal constitutional right to assisted suicide.
