Georgia Supreme Court Strikes Down Ban on Assisted Suicide Advertisements
In Final Exit Network, Inc. v. Georgia, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously concluded that Georgia’s statutory prohibition on advertising or offering to assist in the commission of a suicide was an unconstitutional restriction on free speech protected by both the United States and Georgia Constitutions. The court suggested that the state could have prohibited all assisted suicides instead of just public offers of assistance, leaving a potential opening for the State Legislature to pass a different law.
