Popis: The approval of the euthanasia law represents a challenge for medicine and culminates a process of civic maturation of society in the face of death. There are challenges that the application of the law will have to meet. Seeking an objective and irreversible medical solution to subjective suffering - where there may be conditioning social determinants - implies a serious risk of inequity that requires policies that establish a pre-decisional guaranteeing framework. Euthanasia should be an exception thanks to the existence of strong clinical, informational and relational safeguards that can only be guaranteed in the context of a solvent primary care that accompanies people throughout their lives. In this primarist and community context, euthanasia can be the last resort of a professional committed to not abandoning a patient with severe and irreversible suffering who requests it.
