Not the USA. Here, helping someone to die when they no longer want to live is considered murder.

check with a local hospice the will help with end of life planning and pain control in the terminally ill. hospice is any form of medical care or treatment that concentrates on reducing the severity of the symptoms of a disease or slows its progress rather than providing a cure. However, it may occasionally be used in conjunction with curative therapy, providing that the curative therapy will not cause additional morbidity. It aims at improving quality of life, by reducing or eliminating pain and other physical symptoms, enabling the patient to ease or resolve psychological and spiritual problems, and supporting the partner and family.

I'm guessing you're talking about euthanasia or assisted suicide. There are very few countries that actually support it, but Australia, The Netherlands and Belguim do. It's a touchy subject though.
