La Eutanasia pasiva frente a la posible vulneración a los derechos de libertad establecidos en la constitución de la república del Ecuador.

Abstract

This research aims to demonstrate that the lack of regulation of the legal figure of passive euthanasia produces a violation of rights recognized in the Constitution and International treaties and conventions. In this sense, the legal figure of euthanasia was theoretically based on both doctrine and comparative law. The methodology used was qualitative; during the research, grounded theory was utilized through the analytical-synthetic method; likewise, it employed a documentary review to locate the current situation of the problem and possible solutions. In conclusion, passive euthanasia is an act resulting from a personal decision performed on oneself without affecting any right of a third party. It should be held in our regulatory system so that this action can be applied in our country as a manifestation of the rights of the person's freedom who performs it. As recommendations, it was stated that domestic law must be adapted to the new social realities to avoid violations of rights. In Ecuadorian law, the legal systems of those countries that regulate and allow passive euthanasia should be taken as an example so that it is recognized in our country as an act resulting from the right person's freedom who requires it and not as a circumstance that violates it.
