    Estudio y análisis del reglamento expedido por el Ministerio de Salud sobre la aplicación de la eutanasia en el Ecuador
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-03) Sarmiento Illescas, Wilson Santiago; Piedra Jaramillo, Santiago Patricio
    With the approval of euthanasia in Ecuador by the Constitutional Court, with its constitutional ruling 67-23-IN/24, it was ordered that the Ministry of Public Health draft a regulation that regulates the procedures for the application of voluntary and involuntary active euthanasia, establishing mechanisms to regulate the basic aspects for carrying out euthanasia procedures such as the way in which consent will be given by either the patient or the legal representative, the way of choosing the doctor who will perform the euthanasia procedure, the way of verifying that the patient is suffering intensely due to a serious and irreversible bodily injury or a serious and incurable disease and respect for conscientious objection, so that when the respective regulation is issued it is necessary to carry out a study in order to analyze whether the regulation issued by the Ministry of Public Health complied with what was ordered by the Constitutional Court in terms of generating a regulated framework for these purposes and if these mechanisms implemented in the regulation really help to develop in an effective way the euthanasia procedures, without affecting patients' rights to a dignified life, a dignified death, and the free development of their personality; and respect for the rights of healthcare personnel involved in euthanasia procedures, and consequently, determining what limitations and problems the regulations present.
