By the end of 2009, there had been 417 recorded legal assisted suicides in the United States. 401 of theses were done in Washington and the other 16 in Oregon. These are two of the three states that it is currently legal in, the other is Montana but there were not any recorded assisted suicides there that year as it was not legalized until January 2010.
