The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of assisted suicide statutes. These statutes are almost exclusively used to deter physicians from administering life-ending medical treatment, such as physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. However, the Court has yet to address the use of physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia as purely palliative measures. This Article proposes that palliative care is a fundamental right because it is the sole medical benefit available to terminal patients. Furthermore, in cases of intractable pain, this right includes the ability of the patient to exercise their discretion in seeking life-ending palliation through physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. Under circumstances of intractable pain, inducing death is medically and ethically appropriate to prevent prolonged and intolerable patient suffering prior to illness-related death. Statutes prohibiting life-ending palliation violate the Fourteenth Amendment by (1) denying terminal patients the ability to seek palliative care, thereby compelling them to endure severe physical pain, and (2) facilitating targeted prosecution against similarly situated palliative physicians who administer life-ending care to terminal patients.
