While the issue of assisted suicide continues to receive mixed reviews in the Michigan courts, the United States Supreme Court recently held unanimously that state laws banning physician-assisted suicide are constitutional. Under the court's ruling, terminally ill adults do not have a constitutionally-protected right to obtain a physician's aid in dying.
虽然协助自杀问题在密歇根州法院仍存在不同看法，但美国最高法院最近一致裁定，禁止医生协助自杀的州法律符合宪法。根据法院的裁决，身患绝症的成年人没有受宪法保护的获得医生协助死亡的权利。
