@bustrbrwn22 Not sure what a death with dignity state is. I know that Missouri allows a person to make what's known as a living will and medical power of attorney whereby the patients can legally say no to CPR and other life-saving or life-prolonging measures and name someone to see that the patients' wishes are carried out if the patient is unconscious.Maybe someone else here knows of states which allow this.

@busterbrown There are several states that allow "Death with Dignity" at this time. Some call it "assisted suicide" but it is not legally considered suicide. There are very strict guidelines involved, including a short life expectancy, and allows someone to end their life, usually with a cocktail of specific drugs. There must be two different doctors sign off on it for a patient to receive the drugs, and conditions have to be met. This is different from having a DNR [do not resuscitate] order on file. The current states are California, Oregon, Colorado, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana, Maine, New Jersey, Vermont, Washington.
You can Google "Death with Dignity" and read more. Hope this helps.

@bustrbrwn22 , Think I was the poster who mentioned Death with Dignity. Now 8 states allow this (link to site below) and Washington state gives this information: https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/8-states-that-allow-euthanasia-833289/ From state of Washington: ".. "in 2008, the voters approved the Death with Dignity Act, which allowed a terminally ill person with less than 6 months to live to self administer lethal doses which were prescribed by a physician."
