Vacco v. Quill, 521 U.S. 793 (1997), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States regarding the right to die.
 It ruled 9-0 that a New York ban on physician-assisted suicide was constitutional, and preventing doctors from assisting their patients, even those terminally ill and/or in great pain, was a legitimate state interest that was well within the authority of the state to regulate.
 In brief, this decision established that, as a matter of law, there was no constitutional guarantee of a "right to die."

 18 V.S.A. chapter 113), which legalizes medical aid in dying (commonly referred to as physician-assisted suicide) with certain restrictions.
 Vermont was the first state to enact this Law through legislative action; it permits some terminally ill patients to determine the time of their own death.
Euthanasia in the Netherlands is regulated by the "Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide (Review Procedures) Act" from 2002.
 It states that euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are not punishable if the attending physician acts in accordance with criteria of due care.
 These criteria concern the patient's request, the patient's suffering (unbearable and hopeless), the information provided to the patient, the absence of reasonable alternatives, consultation of another physician and the applied method of ending life.
 To demonstrate their compliance, the Act requires physicians to report euthanasia to a review committee.
