Un Proyecto de ley que admite la eutanasia activa

: The recent bill presented to the National Congress in Argentina, seeks the legalization of euthanasia, basing mainly on the fact that such an action would allow the access of persons covered by the law to a dignified death.

Although the protection of life should not justify practices known as therapeutic cruelty, this does not imply that euthanasia provides a true solution to the problem of human suffering. Following the aforementioned considerations, the main points of the bill are briefly explained below.
