The Supreme Court case of Washington v. Glucksberg centered around assisted suicide. Dr. Harold Glucksberg and four other physicians, along with three terminally ill patients and a non-profit organization, challenged a Washington law banning assisted suicide. They argued that terminally ill patients have a constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the state law, ruling that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide. The Court found that states have the right to pass laws banning assisted suicide without violating the U.S. Constitution.
