Responsabilidad del estado frente al buen morir en colombia desde una perspectiva humana y juridica

Abstract

Colombia, despite being the first country in Latin America to develop jurisprudence on euthanasia, such pronouncements have not been reflected in the country’s legislation, because the Congress of the Republic has ignored the pronouncements of the Constitutional Court for no apparent reason, in the present investigation it will be analyzed what could be the ethical, moral reasons for not legislating the issue, as well as analysing the case law decided by the high courts in reference to this procedure, Finally, it is sought to determine whether the failure of the Congress of the Republic to legislate on this issue causes an antijuridical damage whose damages could be due to patients and their families.
