Abstract

El derecho a la vida, fundamentado en valores como la dignidad, la libertad y la integridad personal, es protegido por leyes nacionales e internacionales que garantizan su inviolabilidad; sin embargo, excepciones como la legítima defensa, el estado de necesidad o decisiones judiciales generan debates éticos y legales sobre sus límites. En este marco, la eutanasia plantea un desafío controversial, al buscar aliviar el sufrimiento en casos de enfermedades terminales o dolor insoportable, cuestionando la interpretación de la dignidad humana. Este estudio documental analiza la relación entre la inviolabilidad de la vida y la eutanasia, explorando sus implicaciones éticas y jurídicas en un debate complejo y profundamente relevante.

Alternate abstract:

The right to life, based on values such as dignity, freedom and personal integrity, is protected by national and international laws that guarantee its inviolability. However, exceptions such as self-defense, state of necessity or judicial decisions generate ethical and legal debates about its limits. In this context, euthanasia poses a controversial challenge, as it seeks to alleviate suffering in cases of terminal illness or unbearable pain, questioning the interpretation of human dignity. This documentary study analyzes the relationship between the inviolability of life and euthanasia, exploring its ethical and legal implications in a complex and deeply relevant debate.
