El derecho a una vida y muerte digna con la implementación de la Eutanasia en el marco normativo Ecuatoriano – Análisis Jurídico.

Abstract

This essay analyzes the approval of euthanasia in Ecuador, highlighting its admissibility through constitutional ruling 67-23-IN/24, considering this a crucial advance in the country's legal system. It aims to analyze in detail the rights that were violated before the decriminalization of this practice, establishing a critical line that allows for the identification of deficiencies or gaps in the previous legal framework. It also aims to analyze the effects generated by the implementation of euthanasia in relation to the full exercise of the right to a dignified life. This paper aims to understand the impact of the legalization of euthanasia within the Ecuadorian legal system, delving into the ethical, social, and comparative legal sphere. This paper seeks to analyze the application of euthanasia, understood and supported by the ruling as a medical mechanism to guarantee a dignified life and death in situations that, as established by the Constitutional Court, prevent intense suffering caused by serious and irreversible bodily injury or a serious and incurable illness. It is in this context that this document seeks to address, from a constitutional perspective, the rights and guarantees protected by the Constitution. Finally, it analyzes the impact that this decriminalization will have in Ecuador, based on the social reality of other countries through a brief comparative law analysis. This paper constitutes a critical-argumentative essay, employing each and every process of the scientific method, adhering to qualitative research that will be developed primarily based on a study guide and/or data collection table.
