En este artículo se examinan el contexto socio-político y jurídico que permitió que la Corte Constitucional en 1997 a despenalizar el homicidio por piedad, los retos que implicó para la sociedad colombiana y los requisitos establecidos por esta corte en 2014 para hacer efectivo el derecho a la eutanasia. Al final se ofrecen algunas consideraciones críticas sobre el debate alrededor de la eutanasia en Colombia.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract In the global debate on euthanasia the case of Colombia, which decriminalised it in 1997, is barely discussed. In this article it is examined the socio-political and legal context in which the Constitutional Court decriminalised mercy killing in 1997, the challenges this decision meant for the Colombian society and the requirements this Court set in 2014 to guarantee the right to euthanasia. At the end, some critical considerations around the euthanasia debate in Colombia are offered.]]></p></abstract>
