Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liberty interest guaranteed in the due process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments has been interpreted by courts to include the right to privacy and personal autonomy, which encompasses the right to make decisions about one's own body, including the decision to die. This interpretation has been used to support arguments for the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and other end-of-life choices. The other amendments listed do not have as strong a connection to the right to die or the liberty interest.
