On July 17, 1997, the Florida Supreme Court, by a vote of 5-1, decided the case of Krischer v. McIver (1) which involved a challenge to the state's one hundred twenty-nine year-old law against assisted suicide. (2) The challenge was based on the Florida constitution's Privacy Amendment (3)
The case was an appeal of the January 31, l997 decision by Florida Circuit Judge S. Joseph Davis which gave specific approval for a physician, Dr. Cecil McIver, to intentionally provide a lethal dose of drugs to Charles Hall, an AIDS patient. In his decision Judge Davis ruled that an individual has the "right to determine his or her course of medical treatment, including the option to hasten his or her death." (4)
Davis' decision and its wording posed a serious threat to all Florida residents.
This fact sheet described what was at issue in the case.

The case is a joint effort of Florida's Hemlock Society and the Florida ACLU. It was in the strategic planning for several years.
