Resumen
VAZQUEZ, Rodolfo. The negative approach to dignity and the expression "death with dignity". Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2017, n.40, pp.23-31. Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
The negative approach can be justified as an alternative to Skeptical and metaphysical conceptions of dignity. This approach conceives dignity as a boundary of what is morally admissible and it's essentially negative content consists in not being treated in a cruel, inhuman, discriminative degrading or humiliating way. From that starting point, we proceed to study the expression "death with dignity" in the borderline cases when it´s impossible to appeal to the principle of personal autonomy.
