Martha Sepúlveda will be the first patient with a nonterminal illness to receive euthanasia in Colombia, a country considered a pioneer in the right to a dignified death, both in Latin America and globally.
“God does not want to see me suffer," said Martha Sepúlveda Campo, 51, who has ALS, a degenerative disease affecting her mobility.Pamela Subizar, Noticias Telemundo
“God does not want to see me suffer, and I believe that no one, no parent wants to see their children suffer," said Sepúlveda, who has had a degenerative disease since 2019. Colombia was the first country in Latin America to decriminalize euthanasia, in 1997, and it is one of the few in the world where the procedure is legal. But until this year, it was only allowed in cases of terminal illness.
However, not everyone in the family agrees, mainly for religious reasons. “With my mother the issue has been more difficult,” Sepúlveda said, “but I think that deep down she also understands it."
