Quill, 521 U.S. 793 (1997), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court regarding the right to die.It ruled 9-0 that a New York ban on physician-assisted suicide was constitutional, and preventing doctors from assisting their patients, even those terminally ill and/or in great pain, was a legitimate state interest that was well within the authority of the state to regulate.
