Abstract

This paper analyzes, from a strictly legal perspective, the different legislative initiatives presented in the Spanish Congress of Deputies during the present legislature aimed at the regulation of End-of-life decision making. To this end, starting from the legislative reality currently in force in Spain, the paper proceeds to analyze, on the one hand, two Proposals of Law on rights and guarantees of the dignity of the person during the final process of his life and, in the other hand, the Proposal of Organic Law for the Regulation of euthanasia which, in view of the concurrent parliamentary majorities in Spain, is called to constitute the norm that regulates this field in the near future in Spain.
