VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating & Drinking) is an end-of-life option that is legal in all 50 United States. Just as it sounds, it means to voluntarily refuse all food and liquids, including those taken through a feeding tube, with the understanding that this will cause you to die. It is a legally recognized and protected constitutional right for a mentally competent person to refuse medical treatment, including food and hydration, to hasten their death.
