Camila Jaramillo-Salazar's Books

This publication has four objectives which are pursued in three chapters. First, it synthesizes and describes the emergence of the right to die with dignity in Colombia, analyzing how it was born, how it has evolved, and how it has been consolidated in recent decades, proposing a genealogy of the process that allows us to understand and communicate it. Second, it reflects on the law as an instrument of social change: it uses the path of the emergence and evolution of the right to die with dignity as a successful case—despite its difficulties and limitations. These two objectives are developed in the first chapter. Third, the publication examines Colombia's current state of the right to die with dignity. It explains its legal nature and core obligations and discusses the mechanisms available to exercise it and the criteria that must be met to access them. The second chapter develops this objective. Finally, in the conclusion of the text, it identifies the challenges that we will face in the future, not only in Colombia but also in Latin America, when it comes to the right to die with dignity, that is, the recognition, expansion, and deepening of the possibility of making free and autonomous decisions about the end of life.
