Abstract
MARTINEZ-NAVARRO, Juan Alejandro. The right to request the provision of aid to die: a debate from Bioethics and the Law. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2022, n.54, pp.233-250. Epub Dec 12, 2022. ISSN 1886-5887. https://dx.doi.org/10.1344/rbd2021.54.35349.
Organic Law 3/2021, of March 24, on the regulation of euthanasia arises through an extensive legal and bioethical debate. The consequence of this new regulatory framework is the decriminalization of direct active euthanasia and the development of the right to request assistance to die. This legal and bioethical debate has been based largely on the contrast of two concepts, such as euthanasia and palliative care, which reflect similarities but which are legally elements that must be differentiated.
Keywords : Euthanasia; request for assistance in dying; palliative care; patient's rights; bioethics.
