Literally meaning “you have the body,” the writ is issued by the court to force the individuals or the agency detaining the individual to present the person and establish the legitimateness of the person’s incarceration.

Death with Dignity is a movement that has been ongoing since the early 1990s (DeathWithDignity.org). Since that time, the debate has raged concerning whether the decision for a terminally ill patient to not only deny treatment, but to ask for euthanasia is socially acceptable.
