Legally, yes. Morally, that's debatable. It depends how you define murder. Murder might even be a good thing in some cases, if you just define it as killing without consent.
To me murder is the purposely killing of a individual by another, accidents don't count because they aren't on purpose
In which case, all forms of euthanasia are murder, and murder isn't always wrong, in my view, anyway.
