In ''Washington v. Glucksberg'', 521 U.S. 702 (1997), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] held unanimously that the State of [[Washington]]'s prohibition against "causing" or "aiding" a suicide does not violate the [[Fourteenth Amendment]] to the [[United States Constitution]].

Chief Justice [[William Rehnquist]] wrote the opinion for the Court, and the [[liberal]] wing concurred in a separate opinion. The Court reversed the decision of an ''en banc'' sitting of the [[Ninth Circuit]]:

:Throughout the Nation, Americans are engaged in an earnest and profound debate about the morality, legality, and practicality of physician-assisted suicide. Our holding permits this debate to continue, as it should in a democratic society. The decision of the en banc Court of Appeals is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
