No. Reference to Dr. Kevorkian's work and his legal battles. If a person assists in the termination of another person's life, it would legally be considered a "Murder" in most states; possible "Manslaughter" in others; depending on the manner in which the death occurred. The charges would still apply even IF the person who died left a letter stating they had asked the other person to kill them. No matter how you look at it, an assisted suicide is considered a Felonious Criminal Offense, therefore allowing for prosecution of the other party.
Added: The above conclusion is not necessarily the law in at least 3 state of the US.
