Euthanasia is an unlawful act under Colombian law.

Meer over het boek

The exploration of euthanasia in Colombia reveals a stark contrast to the cultural consensus seen in the Netherlands. In Colombia, the Constitutional Court has shaped euthanasia laws through jurisprudence rather than societal agreement, reflecting a clash with the country's religious values. The Dutch model, rooted in a progressive culture emphasizing personal autonomy and medical advocacy, stands in opposition to Colombia's legal challenges. This book delves into the implications of these differing approaches and the constitutional principles at play in Colombia's healthcare system.
