We have it here in Oregon. A terminally ill person can legally get a lethal prescription of barbituates. The catch however, is that they have to administer the lethal dose themselves, the doctor doesn't do it.

We got this new law through a measure that the people voted on. Then our state legislature got nervous and made us vote on it again. This made the voting public so mad that the second time we passed the ballot measure by an even larger number.

Current research shows that a log of the people who choose to get a prescription never use it, but it gives them a sense of control in their lives.
