Summary

Tileston v. Ullman — Opinion of the Court

The sole constitutional attack upon the statutes under the Fourteenth Amendment is confined to their deprivation of life-obviously not appellant's but his patients'. There is no allegation or proof that appellant's life is in danger. His patients are not parties to this proceeding and there is no basis on which we can say that he has standing to secure an adjudication of his patients' constitutional right to life, which they do not assert in their own behalf.
