## Key points

- Democrats gained control or strengthened their position in six states.
- Assisted-suicide bills previously stalled in several legislatures.
- Hawaii reported one such death for every 215 deaths in 2025.

## Summary

The article says Democratic gains in six state governments after the 2026 midterms could make it more likely that lawmakers revisit assisted-suicide proposals. It argues this matters because assisted suicide is already legal in 13 US states and other jurisdictions, and points to Hawaii’s reported figures as evidence of its use.

The article reports that one in every 215 deaths in Hawaii in 2025 followed the use of prescribed lethal drugs under the state’s 2019 law. It describes proposed bills in Arizona, Michigan and Minnesota that stalled, and notes that Nevada’s governor vetoed one proposal and opposed another; the article says new Democratic majorities could alter the prospects for similar legislation.
