Where did the right to privacy come from and what does it mean? Vincent J. Samar develops a definition of legal privacy, discusses why and how far privacy should be protected, and shows the relationship between privacy and personal autonomy. He answers Robert Bork’s questions about the scope, content and legal justification of a general right to privacy, with emphasis on issues involving gays and lesbians. Samar argues that these issues share a common constitutional and ethical basis with abortion, surrogate motherhood, drug testing and the right to die.
