Opis

Euthanasia in Colombia, unlike in Holland, is not the result of a cultural consensus born from society itself, but of an initiative of the Constitutional Court through its jurisprudence. In fact, euthanasia in Holland was a process in society and it did not take many years to reach a consensus, which is related to the Dutch culture and is characterized by a culture of permissiveness, as well as by the non-interference in the will of the person. Holland is characterized for being a "progressive" country in relation to the issues of Euthanasia, Abortion, marriage between homosexual couples and legalization of drugs. And the idea of euthanasia was born in Holland by the ideas of the doctors themselves. Thus, the Constitutional Court by giving orders through its jurisprudential rulings to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection to regulate the organization and operation of an interdisciplinary committee in Hospitals, Clinics, IPS, EPS in relation to Euthanasia in Colombia, in addition to opposing our religious culture, is undoubtedly incompatible with the constitutional principle of legality.
