In June of 1997, the United States Supreme Court ruled the Constitution does not grant Americans the right to assisted suicide under the Fourteenth Amendment but simultaneously reaffirmed citizens have a constitutionally protected right to refuse lifesaving hydration and nutrition, along with other medical treatments.

Right-to-die activists welcomed the fact the justices left the door ajar, by deferring to the states to legislate the prickly issue. Story
