Places where euthanasia is legal
 
(According to Wikipedia)

Non-active euthanasia, or assisted suicide, is legal in three US states;


Oregon
Washington
Montana
New Hampshire is currently considering a bill on assisted suicide
Active euthanasia, commonly referred simply as euthanasia, is only legal in:


the Netherlands
Belgium
Assisted suicide is also legal in:


Albania
Luxembourg
Switzerland does not punish doctors who perform euthanasia.

It was legal in the Northern Territory of Australia between the years of 1995-1997, when the Territory's law was overruled by the central Parliament of Australia, which then outlawed euthanasia and revoked the Territory's self-governing rights concerning matters of euthanasia. A bill is currently in the Australian Parliament which, if passed, would restore the Northern Territory's self-governance in that area. Japan is currently the only country that has no law criminalizing euthanasia, although legislation is being considered which would spell out the country's legal view of the subject explicitly.
