In many states assisting a suicide is a crime. From the New York Times:
"California is one of five states where terminally ill people may legally receive assistance to end their lives. Oregon became the first to provide the option in 1997."
"The [California] law, which took effect on June 9, allows terminally ill adults to obtain a prescription for life-ending medication if a doctor has determined they have no more than six months to live."
