    ¿Cómo se justifica el castigo de una persona que ayuda al titular del bien jurídico a ejercer su derecho a la muerte digna en Colombia?
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Leal Joven, Juan Esteban; Márquez Quirós, Isabela; Echavarría Ramírez, Ricardo
    The aim of this paper is to question the reasons that legitimize the existence of the criminal offenses of homicide by mercy and the inducement or assistance in suicide, considering that these are quite problematic when it comes to justifying them in light of constitutional principles and human rights. While the Constitutional Court, in various rulings, has made statements and included important modifications that exclude medical professionals from criminal responsibility when carrying out any of these offenses under specific circumstances, it remains contradictory that two norms remain in force that limit, without apparent justification, the fundamental rights to a dignified life and the free development of the personality of the individual holding the legal right.
