TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Assisted suicide as a fundamental right. Commentary to the decision of the Canadian Supreme Court In Carter V. Canada (6 February 2015) JO - BioLaw Journal A1 - Martínez, F.R. SP - 245 EP - 260 VL - 2015 IS - 2 N2 - In its judgment in Carter v. Canada, on February 6, 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada has come to recognize that medical help to die (physician-assisted suicide and active euthanasia direct) is a fundamental right. Examining the validity of the criminal law prohibiting assisted suicide (including hospice), has concluded that it is unconstitutional to deny medical help to die adult patients relevant to the request as a result of an illness or disability that causes them permanent and irreversible intolerable suffering. This paper analyzes and critically evaluates this relevant decision. © 2017, University of Trento.
