"Life Legal Defense Foundation has filed a friend of the court (amicus) brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, urging the court to reject Delaware’s assisted suicide law and reaffirm the government’s duty to protect human life.

In its brief, Life Legal argues that physician-assisted suicide undermines one of the most fundamental principles of American law: that the role of government is to defend life, not facilitate its destruction.

“Human life is a fundamental constitutional right that states have a solemn duty to protect,” the brief explains.

Life Legal’s brief was joined by a coalition of 14 national medical, legal, and faith-based organizations, including physicians, bioethicists, disability advocates, and religious leaders who share concerns about the growing expansion of assisted suicide laws."
