The technical answer is Oregon.
Another View: The questioner may have inadvertently used the wrong wording for their question.
While "Euthanasia" is against the law in all US states, three states do legally permit PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE. Assisted suicide is legal in the states of Oregon, Washington, and Montana, and I believe is under review in at least one other state at the time of this post (Jan '10).
