Abstract
Amicus is an ad hoc group of 57 philosophers, theologians, attorneys and physicians .. .who teach medical ethics to medical students and physicians. The members believe that permitting competent adults to make important, personal medical decisions in consultation with their physician is a fundamental principle of medical ethics, and that the doctor-patient relationship deserves the constitutional protection the Court has afforded it under the right of privacy.
