Involuntary Euthanasia is currently illegal in all 50 states of the United States.[1] Assisted suicide is legal in 10 jurisdictions in the US: Washington, D.C.[2] and the states of California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, New Mexico, Maine,[3] New Jersey,[4] Hawaii, and Washington.[5] The status of assisted suicide is disputed in Montana, though currently authorized per the Montana Supreme Court's ruling in Baxter v. Montana that "nothing in Montana Supreme Court precedent or Montana statutes [indicates] that physician aid in dying is against public policy."[6]
