This is a catch-all rule: federal money in general cannot be used to provide, pay for, or perform anything meant to cause a person's death, like assisted suicide or euthanasia. It only applies when sections 14402, 14403, or 14404 don't already cover the funding.

(a) In general — Subject to section 14402(b) of this title and to (b) below, no funds Congress appropriates may be used to provide, get, supply, or fund any item, good, benefit, activity, or service given or performed for the purpose of causing, or helping cause, someone's suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing. (b) Nonduplication — This section doesn't apply to funds already covered by section 14402, 14403, or 14404 of this title — except that this section, rather than section 14402, applies to funds for title 10 (except chapter 55), title 18 (except section 4005(a)), and title 28, chapter 37.
