Abstract

Once the Supreme Court issues it decision in the cases of Quill v. Vacco1 and Compassion in Dying v. Washington2 regarding the constitutionality of outlawing physician-assisted suicide for competent and terminally ill persons, the tension surrounding legal, medical, religious and ethical issues concerning end of life decision making will not be resolved.
