There is nothing in the United States Constitution about assisted suicide. It is up to the states to make assisted suicide legal or illegal. This is shown by 3 states legalizing assisted suicide while the others hold on to laws making it illegal
Assisted suicide is when the person who is committing suicide is assisted by another person, who will provide the implements of the suicide and/or instructions, and who knows that the person is about to commit suicide. Normally the suicide patient will follow instructions, which will induce his death.

This is controlled at the state level and currently only one state allows assisted suicide (or euthanasia) and that is Oregon. There are three states that do not have laws criminalizing assisted suicide and they are: North Carolina, Utah and Wyoming. In Ohio, that state's supreme court ruled in October 1996 that assisted suicide is not a crime. In Virginia, there is no real clear case law on assisted suicide , nor is there is a statute criminalizing the act, although there is a statute which imposes civil sanctions on persons assisting in a suicide. Most European countries allow assisted suicide in cases where the patient is terminally ill.
