Assisted suicide in the United States
Physician-assisted suicide in the United States is legal in the states of California, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. In Montana, the ''Baxter v. Montana'' (2009) court decision created a defense for a physician who is prosecuted should he or she be charged in assisting a suicide although prosecutions and convictions for assisted suicide remain possible in Montana. In New Mexico, a 2014 court decision permitting the practice in Bernalillo County was overturned on appeal.
There is legislation being considered in several states regarding the legality of assisted suicide.
==Legal requirements==
The Oregon Death with Dignity Act, and the Washington statute modeled after it, set certain requirements and safeguards before a person may commit suicide with a doctor's assistance. The patient must be of sound mind when they request a prescription for a lethal dose of medication. Two doctors must confirm a diagnosis of terminal illness with no more than six months to live. Two witnesses, one non-doctor unrelated to the patient, must confirm the patient's request, and the patient must make a second request after 15 days.
