What is the legal status of euthenasia in the US?

In the United States, the legal status of euthanasia varies by state. As of now, euthanasia—defined as the intentional act of ending a person's life to relieve suffering—is illegal in all states. However, several states, including Oregon, Washington, and California, have legalized physician-assisted suicide, where terminally ill patients can obtain prescriptions for life-ending medications. The legal landscape continues to evolve, with ongoing debates and legislative efforts regarding the rights of patients and the ethical considerations surrounding end-of-life choices.
