During her participation in the second day of the Forum on Euthanasia, an analysis of the current situation in the Chamber of Deputies, the UNAM researcher said that euthanasia in Mexico «is a right that the wealthy class has» and that it must be legalized so that populations with fewer resources have access to this practice. because they cannot afford to pay for private hospitals or travel to the Netherlands, Colombia and Canada, where euthanasia is allowed. It is when a terminally ill person, making full use of his mental faculties, expresses his will that treatments that prolong his life will not be used. This means that it is not connected to a machine that brings it to life. The main difference is that with the patient`s order, death is not accelerated, but nothing is done to prolong the patient`s life, death comes by itself. Several states in Mexico have a precautionary law, Mexico City©©was the first entity to have this legislation in 2008. Other entities that have this law are Coahuila, Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosã, Michoacán, Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Nayarit, State of Mexico©, Colima, Oaxaca, Yucatán and Tlaxcala. It`s not legal in the rest of the states. «There is a ban (euthanasia) and as in the case of abortion. Abortion in our country is an issue that is not officially legalized, and yet it is practiced, it is done. I like to think that although euthanasia is not regulated in our country, it is still practiced,» he said.
Death is one of the topics that is taboo for many people and worse when it comes to thinking about death itself. It is a topic to be discussed in several societies and at different times. Some countries have decided to legalize assisted suicide or euthanasia in specific cases where there is no longer any hope of improving the quality of life. «It is forbidden to continue the practice of euthanasia, understood as homicide by Another difference between the advance directive and euthanasia is that the former can be requested without necessarily being sick or the victim of an accident. The advance directive regulates orthothanasia; That is, the right deed in the face of death by those who care for those who suffer from an incurable or incurable disease. The law does not authorize euthanasia or intentional acts to end a patient`s life. Recently, the Chamber of Deputies held conferences to discuss euthanasia, so experts and academics discussed the possibility of offering a dignified death by euthanasia, what is this procedure? Is it legal in Mexico? Although not legalized, euthanasia is practiced privately in Mexico and even populations with higher purchasing power travel to countries where it is legal to practice it, said Paulina Rivero Weber, director of the university`s bioethics program at UNAM. Of course, euthanasia is a term© that needs to be studied thoroughly.
First of all, it is important to move forward in its first phase, which is recognition as a right,» Morenoite explained in court. Paulina Rivero Weber said that legalizing euthanasia in Mexico would allow patients with disabilities or incurable diseases to be treated with dignity in the company of doctors. In all cases, there must be a living will and, in the case of euthanasia, always the participation of a doctor who carries out the process. Euthanasia is legal in few parts of the world. This confirms the complexity of its recognition and application. The Netherlands was the first country to legalize it in 2002. Then Belgium, Luxembourg, Colombia, Canada, New Zealand and Spain joined, the latter being the first and only Catholic tradition to do so. The practice of euthanasia and assisted suicide is embroiled in significant religious, ethical, scientific and legal controversies. Euthanasia has existed and exists all over the world and at all times, although its practice is hidden or veiled. While there are medical professionals who help their patients end the suffering and anguish of incurable diseases or painful deaths, there is also a large sector that refuses to use euthanasia or assisted suicide because its professional and ethical mission is essentially to heal the sick and preserve life. You may have wondered what euthanasia is, since it has become a matter of public interest©, so here we tell you how it is© applied, how you can request it and more.
«Legalization would only extend this right, which the wealthiest already have through travel, or even agree with a doctor friend to apply euthanasia in a hospital. Disadvantaged without problems, but what matters is the 96% of the population who suffer in a bed,» he said. It consists of two Greek roots: eu, good, and thanatos, dead. That is, it means «good death.» ©Medically, the process of accelerating the death of a person suffering from an incurable and degenerative disease. For it to be formal euthanasia, medical©personnel must administer the drugs or products that cause death and, at the express request of the patient, that this happens. It is only legal in Belgium©, Luxembourg, Colombia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain and ±the Netherlands, the first country to approve this procedure in April 2002. In this case, it is not a doctor© who provides the substances that end life, it is the patient himself who does it. The patient knows that what he takes will cause his death. It is legal in Switzerland and several US states. There are medical©centers where a doctor prescribes the drugs, but it is always the patient himself who takes them directly. www.bioeticaparatodos.com/eutanasia-distanasia-y-ortotanasia-cual-es-la-diferencia/ The practice of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in accordance with the provisions of articles 161 to 21 of the General Health Act is prohibited. Hamlet García Almaguer stressed that issues such as legal abortion, ± recreational use of cannabis and euthanasia are demanded by societies and that legislators around the world must approach legislative work in the face of social needs.
Nazario Norberto SÁNCHEZ, local deputy of the Morena party, presented©Wednesday an initiative to the CDMX Congress to recognize and absolutely decriminalize euthanasia in the country`s capital. Official statistics are scarce, but bioethicist Horacio García Romero says up to 45 percent of terminally ill patients in the country need some sort of passive euthanasia.
