• 1. The balance at issue is the right of
privacy of the patient versus the state of
interest in preserving human life;
• 2. The United States Supreme Court has
articulated that “viable life” must be
protected over the individual rights of
privacy;
• 3. In allowing the right to die over the
right of privacy in Quinlan, the New
Jersey court was faced with the removal
of a respirator only, not with a feeding
tube;
• 4. Removal of a feeding tube, causing
the patient to starve to death, shocks
the conscience per the Rochin case and
is unacceptable.
