Implicaciones jurídicas de la eutanasia en el Ecuador, un estudio crítico.

Abstract

The right to a dignified death will be understood as a reflection and part of human dignity, as well as the appreciation of human rights, and the intrinsic respect for the autonomy that the patient with a terminal illness has, or with intense pain that they do not have. Finally, that is why euthanasia is not only a practice that has been based on Greek history, but it is also allowing a person to no longer suffer with unattainable pain, which is why it translates into the legal request for a dignified death. Euthanasia will have as its objective a non-painful death. In Ecuador, many people spend months, even years waiting for a response and attention to their ailments. There are even people who suffer silently and alone from these pains, since unfortunately access to health in Ecuador privately is very high, and the majority of Ecuadorians, due to the precarious national economy, cannot meet these needs, so death for these people is a relief not only dignified, social, moral, but also economic. The implementation of dignified death in Ecuador is a great social advance, because it has seen the need to implement euthanasia as well as in Latin American countries, relating the issuance of its regulations and laws so that they can be complemented with the national reality that exists in Ecuador, in Argentina euthanasia is the end to suffering, that is, the person requests that this procedure be carried out, which must be accepted and approved by an inter-institutional commission, who were in charge of verifying the information, as well as helping these people to mitigate their pain with a dignified death.
