    Area of Science:

    • Constitutional Law
    • Bioethics
    • Human Rights

    Background:

    • The Chilean Constitution does not explicitly define or prohibit euthanasia.
    • Existing legal frameworks do not directly address the right to die.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the Chilean Constitution for potential acceptance of euthanasia.
    • To explore how freedom of conscience clauses can support end-of-life decisions.

    Main Methods:

    • Textual analysis of the Chilean Constitution.
    • Comparative analysis with similar constitutions and international regulations.

    Main Results:

    • The Constitution's silence on euthanasia does not equate to a prohibition.
    • Principles of human dignity and freedom of conscience can be interpreted to support euthanasia.
