Resumen
El presente trabajo de investigación abordó la vulneración de los derechos fundamentales que sufren las personas con enfermedades catastróficas en Ecuador, no existe un plan estratégico que les garantice los tratamientos necesarios para mantener una vida plena, libre de sufrimientos; por este motivo fue necesario examinar la legalización de la eutanasia como una opción para quienes sufren estas enfermedades y deciden -que debido a sus padecimientos- es necesario terminar su vida de manera anticipada. Esta investigación se realizó empleando como metodología el método documental, y tiene por finalidad determinar la posibilidad de practicar la eutanasia en el caso de las personas que padecen enfermedades catastróficas. El proyecto de investigación está conformado por tres capítulos, en el primero se recopiló la información pertinente para profundizar en las enfermedades catastróficas, así como en los derechos de quienes las padecen; en el segundo capítulo se realizó un estudio comparativo entre las legislaciones de distintos Estados que permiten la aplicación de la eutanasia; en el tercer capítulo, se efectuó un análisis de las bases normativas legales tanto nacionales como internacionales, con respecto a la eutanasia. A través del
desarrollo de estos capítulos, se llegó a la conclusión de que el Ecuador debe legislar, de manera inmediata, en favor del derecho que tienen las personas con enfermedades catastróficas para solicitar la aplicación de la eutanasia.
