| description | Euthanasia in Colombia, understood as the fundamental right to die with dignity, has been developed jurisprudentially by the Constitutional Court since 1997; Since then, several pronouncements have emerged from the same corporation in this regard, which urge the adoption of legal measures to incorporate it into the national regulatory body. However, even the Congress of the Republic has not regulated the matter, being the Ministry of Health and Social Protection that, in compliance with the order imposed by the Court, has issued some guidelines about the application of the procedure, plus the lack of law has caused difficulties for its complete implementation. That is why, through a non-experimental qualitative study with documentary review, this article aims to address the insufficiency of the measures that the State has implemented up to now to protect the right to die with dignity and what have been the issues that have hindered the application of euthanasia, resulting in a clear legal insecurity that leads to patients suffering from terminal illnesses, not being able to effectively access euthanasia. |

La eutanasia en Colombia, entendida como el derecho fundamental a morir dignamente, ha sido desarrollada jurisprudencialmente por parte de la Corte Constitucional desde el año 1997; a partir de entonces han surgido varios pronunciamientos de la misma corporación al respecto, que instan a la adopción de medidas legales para incorporarla en el cuerpo normativo nacional. No obstante, aún el Congreso de la República no ha reglamentado el asunto, siendo el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social que, en cumplimiento de la orden impuesta por la Corte, ha emitido algunas directrices acerca de la aplicación del procedimiento, más la carencia de ley ha propiciado dificultades para su completa implementación. Es por ello que, mediante un estudio cualitativo no experimental con revisión documental, con este artículo se pretende abordar la insuficiencia de las medidas que hasta ahora ha implementado el Estado para proteger el derecho a morir dignamente y cuáles han sido las cuestiones que han obstaculizado la aplicación de la eutanasia, resultando en una clara inseguridad jurídica que lleva a pacientes que padecen enfermedades en estado terminal, no puedan acceder de manera efectiva a la eutanasia. A eutanásia na Colômbia, entendida como o direito fundamental de morrer com dignidade, vem sendo desenvolvida jurisprudencialmente pela Corte Constitucional desde 1997; Desde então, diversos pronunciamentos da mesma corporação surgiram a esse respeito, que incitam a adoção de medidas legais para incorporá-lo ao órgão regulador nacional. No entanto, mesmo o Congresso da República não regulamentou a matéria, sendo o Ministério da Saúde e Proteção Social que, em cumprimento à ordem imposta pelo Tribunal, emitiu algumas orientações sobre a aplicação do procedimento, além da inexistência de lei tem causado dificuldades para sua implementação completa. É por isso que, por meio de um estudo qualitativo não experimental com revisão documental, este artigo visa abordar a insuficiência das medidas que o Estado implementou até o momento para proteger o direito de morrer com dignidade e quais têm sido os problemas que têm dificultado a aplicação da eutanásia, resultando em uma clara insegurança jurídica que leva os pacientes que sofrem de doenças terminais, não podendo acessar efetivamente a eutanásia.
