RESUMEN
En este artículo se realiza un análisis acerca de la eutanasia, como un derecho
fundamental que el Estado ecuatoriano debería proporcionar a sus residentes, para
proteger los principios de la autonomía y autodeterminación, así como un modelo bioético
basado en la deliberación por parte del paciente, pues a la fecha, a nivel interno no se
garantiza el mismo, lo cual es contrario a la facultad personal del goce de una muerte en
condiciones de dignidad.
Descriptores: Ética médica; eutanasia; derecho a la vida. (Tomado del tesauro de la
UNESCO).
ABSTRACT
This article makes an analysis about euthanasia, as a fundamental right that the
Ecuadorian State should provide its residents, to protect the principles of autonomy and
self-determination, as well as a bioethical model based on deliberation by the patient, as
to date, internally, it is not guaranteed, which is contrary to the personal faculty of the
enjoyment of a death in dignity conditions.
Descriptors:Medical ethics; euthanasia; right to life.(Taken from the UNESCO
thesaurus).
