You are probably thinking of Oregon's "right to die" law, which is not euthanization. It allows terminally ill patients (after a very lengthy process) to request and receive physician assisted suicide.
Euthanization is however allowed for animals, but not for people.

As "euthanization" is not a word, I'd have to say no.
Oregon has, hower, had a physician assisted suicide law, aka the "Death with Dignity Act," since 1997, which allows terminally-ill Oregonians to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose. You can read more about it here:
http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/pas/index.shtml
and about the national center here:
http://www.deathwithdignity.org/
Since it is self-administered, it is not strictly speaking euthanasia (which is generally acknowledged to mean someone else acting to cause the death).
