Between Safeguard and Constraint
There has been an increase in the number of jurisdictions legalizing or decriminalizing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Legal frameworks worldwide strive to balance respect for autonomy with regulatory safeguards that both operationalize voluntary choice and prevent access to MAiD in cases of remediable despair or coerced decision‐making. However, the implementation of such an equilibrium diverges. Some legal systems prioritize personal auton…
Organ Donation After Medical Aid in Dying
Organ Donation after Medical Aid in Dying (OD‐MAiD) is currently practised in four countries: Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, and Spain. While OD‐MAiD shares some similarities with MAiD (absent the possibility of organ donation) and with standard organ donation protocols, the combination of OD and MAiD involves unique circumstances that present novel ethical challenges. These challenges revolve around donors' consent and protection, the dead do…
Analysis of the legal situation regarding euthanasia in Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru
Colombia was one of the first countries to decriminalise euthanasia. However, what is known in the international academic literature about the country's regulations is scarce and outdated. Such lack of information on the situation in Latin America is even more evident in the case of Peru, where the Lima Superior Court of Justice set a precedent by allowing a person to have access to euthanasia in 2021. Ecuador, which has just decriminalised eutha…
La prohibición de la eutanasia por trastornos mentales en España
Este artículo examina la exclusión de personas con trastornos mentales del acceso a la eutanasia en España según la interpretación del Tribunal Constitucional del 2023. En un primer momento, se analiza cómo la negativa a conceder la ayuda para morir a estos pacientes podría vulnerar el principio de igualdad y no discriminación. Posteriormente, se exploran los fundamentos constitucionales de la igualdad y su aplicación al acceso a prestaciones san…
Euthanasia in detention and the ethics of caring solidarity
Almost a year after the enactment of the law regulating euthanasia in Spain, public opinion was shocked to learn that a defendant in criminal proceedings obtained medical assistance in dying following injuries sustained in an exchange of gunfire with the police after having committed a series of severe crimes. Although there are very few cases in the world where prisoners have received euthanasia, the one we will discuss in this article is the on…
Élie Metchnikoff, ¿el primer transhumanista moderno
Élie Metchnikoff, ganador del Premio Nobel de medicina en 1908 y sucesor de Pasteur, fue sin duda un hombre intelectualmente muy fértil. Sus investigaciones pioneras en una gran variedad de áreas científicas, como la gerontología, la tanatología y la inmunología modernas, constatan lo anterior. Pero ¿es posible considerarlo, además, como el primer transhumanista moderno? El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar la pertinencia de atribuirle tal tí…

Writing Virtue and Indigenous Rights
In his Relación de Texcoco , Juan Bautista de Pomar (c. 1535–90) takes a political and moral stance against Spanish colonialism in Texcoco and the entire viceroyalty of New Spain. Responding to the Instrucción y memoria ’s (1577) request for information about the history and cultural practices of local populations, Pomar narrates the history of preconquest Texcocoan civilization as a civilized proto-Christian society, with monotheistic rulers and…
