Preferred term

right to die  

Definition(s)

  • Supreme Court rulings that deal with the rights of persons to end their own lives. Since about the 1970s, advances in medicine have allowed the “human body [to be kept] alive for longer than any reasonable person would want to inhabit it,” as Justice Antonin Scalia put it. [Source: Student's Guide to the Supreme Court; Right to Die]
