Trazando Un Camino Hacia La Dignidad: Análisis De La Eutanasia Para Pacientes Con Intenso Dolor En Colombia A La Luz De La Sentencia C-233/2021, Caso De Martha Sepúlveda.
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Arizala Gonzalez, Maria Alexandra; Ospina Molina, Pablo Sergio (Asesor)
The subjectivity of euthanasia is a highly controversial and ethical issue that generates profound debates in society and in the legal and medical fields. Colombia has been a pioneer in the recognition of this right through Constitutional Court rulings C-239/97 and C-233/2021, which established the legal framework for its practice, initially in cases of terminal illness and later extending it to non-terminal patients with intense suffering, including active (direct action) and passive (withholding of treatment) euthanasia. Current research focuses on analyzing the repercussions of Ruling C-233/2021 to identify deficiencies in its application, as evidenced in cases such as that of Martha Sepúlveda, with the aim of proposing improvements that ensure effective respect for the right to a dignified death, which continues to be delayed in the country.
