Constitutional Connection

In the Constitution of The United States; Amendment 14: nor shall (in) any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of laws. The key words, deprive any person of life, could be a potential argument for physician assisted suicide. If you were to decode that sentence, every person's life cannot be taken away, nor that person's freedom and property etc. Yet, it also says by law it could all be taken away. This relates to places such as Oregon, who have a Death With Dignity Act. Voters voted and the law allowed them to die with dignity and the law now protects every person in Oregon for that reason. All in all, lawyers and petitioners and respondents could bend and twist Amendment 14 for their outcome. It potentially alludes to both negative and positive aspects of PAS.
