No states in the US describe euthanasia as being legal. However, physician-assisted suicide has been legalized in a few states now. The difference between the two is that in euthanasia, the doctor administers the lethal drug to the patient while in physician-assisted suicide, the doctor provides the means (usually a lethal drug) to the patient, which end their own life.

Euthanasia crime or not?
* Euthanasia is a crime in most States with the exception of Oregon and Washington, but Texas, Minnesota and a few other States are trying to accept Euthanasia into their States. It's not a crime to the person that is ill if that individual has a long-term painful illness where they will not get better and want to die with dignity. Often doctors keep patients alive due to the Hippocratic Oath, but more and more doctors are 'for' Euthanasia. Some people are against it because of their religious beliefs. One day in the not too distant future Euthanasia will be an individuals right to decide upon.
