    New euthanasia bill submitted before Uruguayan Congress

    We cannot force people to suffer, argued Preve

    Uruguayan lawmakers submitted a new euthanasia bill before the Lower House, reviving a proposal already passed there in 2022 but stalled in the Senate. The bill, introduced by deputies from the Colorado Party (PC) and the ruling Brooad Front (Frente Amplio - FA), is supported by a multiparty coalition including members of the Partido Nacional and Partido Independiente. The initiative seeks to allow assisted death for individuals with terminal, incurable, and irreversible diseases.

    Uruguayan future lawmakers hope to get euthanasia legalized shortly

    In Preve's view, legal euthanasia is a much-needed alternative and “a right for many people who are in quite complicated situations”

    The incoming administration of Uruguay's future President Yamandú Orsi taking office on March 1 may see the euthanasia bill passed, it was reported this week in Montevideo. The initiative is currently stalled in the Senate.
