COLOMBIA LEGALIZES MEDICALLY-ASSISTED SUICIDE

COLOMBIA: Colombia’s constitutional court legalized medically-assisted suicide in a ruling Wednesday, making it the first country in Latin America to do so.

Along with euthanasia, legalized in Colombia in 1997, the mechanism increases access to a dignified death for individuals suffering from a terminal disease, serious injury, or extreme physical or psychological pain. Euthanasia involves medical staff, while medically-assisted suicide is carried out by the patient and accompanied by a medical professional.
Previously in Colombia, medically-assisted suicide could result in a 32 to a 108-month prison sentence for individuals who induced or aided the patient. The decision came after a right-to-die group, DescLAB, filed a lawsuit before the court. Colombia joins Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany, and some states in the United States in permitting the mechanism.
