citizens but I will discuss the issue of the right to privacy. Privacy is a freedom that is not specifically mentioned in the constitution. This right to privacy is supposed to give American citizens "a zone of control over their personal lives and this zone of control is free from government intrusion" (McClain and Tauber 199), but the problem with the right to privacy is that the legal definition of privacy is not clearly stated and that there is still a constant debate about how far the right to privacy should go. One of the issues surrounding the right to privacy is the right to die. The right to die is defined as “the right of individuals to refuse life-saving medical treatment, but does not include the right to commit suicide” (McClain and Tauber 119). There is a Death with Dignity law that allows terminally ill people to end their lives with lethal medications prescribed by a doctor. As of 2016, only four states had these laws, namely California, Vermont, Oregon, and Washington. This death with dignity law constantly comes into conflict with religious organizations due to personal beliefs. However, the United States Supreme Court has stated that the freedom of the right to privacy "includes the right to refuse medical treatment either directly, through a spouse, or indirectly, through a will” (McClain and Tauber 119), but if none of these options are available, the state will try to keep the person alive as long as possible. This shows how the civil liberty of the right to privacy can basically legalize suicide or murder simply because the government cannot interfere in an individual's choice in a difficult context..
