Abstract

Departing from the analysis of the object and content of the fundamental right to life as it is currently consecrated, this study aims at exploring whether the fundamental right to life can accommodate certain demands. Within this framework, it focuses on the relationship between the fundamental right to life and the eventual recognition of a right to die and, more specifically, to assisted death.
