Answer:
The following is a MA statute, which doesn't specify a penalty:
CHAPTER 201D. HEALTH CARE PROXIES
Chapter 201D: Section 12. Suicide or mercy killing
Section 12. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to constitute, condone, authorize, or approve suicide or mercy killing, or to permit any affirmative or deliberate act to end one’s own life other than to permit the natural process of dying.
