Abstract

In Argentina, the debate on dignified death and euthanasia developed significantly at the legal and academic level. The passing of Law 26.742 in 2012 represented a key advance, allowing patients to refuse medical treatments that would artificially prolong life, without authorising active euthanasia, which remained criminalised. Although legislative projects were presented to regulate it, active euthanasia has still not obtained a legal framework. In universities, especially in medical degrees, these subjects were integrated into courses such as Bioethics, Legal Medicine and Deontology, promoting ethical, critical and humanistic training in the face of end-of-life challenges.
