Washington v. Glucksberg : ウィキペディア英語版 | Washington v. Glucksberg ''Washington v. Glucksberg'', 521 U.S. 702 (1997), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously held that a right to assistance in committing suicide was not protected by the Due Process Clause. ==Facts== Dr. Harold Glucksberg, a physician; four other physicians; three terminally-ill patients; and the non-profit organization, Compassion in Dying, counseling those considering assisted-suicide, challenged Washington state's ban against assisted suicide in the Natural Death Act of 1979. They claimed that assisted suicide was a liberty interest protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The District Court ruled in favor of Glucksberg, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed. Then, after rehearing the case ''en banc'', the Ninth Circuit reversed the earlier panel and affirmed the District Court's decision. The case was argued before the United States Supreme Court on January 8, 1997. The question presented was whether the protection of the Due Process Clause included a right to commit suicide, and therefore commit suicide with another's assistance.
