In some cultures, euthanasia or suicide is an option. Are there countries that condone such behavior?

Some countries, such as The Netherlands and Switzerland, allow terminally ill patients to choose euthanasia as an end-of-life option. Other countries have laws and policies against assisted suicide, although some regions allow it in practice. For example, in the United States, certain states have laws that permit or even mandate doctor-assisted suicide in certain situations. However, throughout most of the world, suicide and euthanasia are against the law.
