Uruguay's Chamber of Deputies has approved a bill to legalize euthanasia, marking a significant step toward regulating assisted dying in the country. The legislation, known as the 'Muerte Digna' (Dignified Death) project, passed with majority support including backing from the Frente Amplio and Partido Colorado parties. This move places Uruguay alongside regional neighbors such as Cuba, Colombia, and Ecuador, which have also legalized euthanasia. The bill aims to regulate access to euthanasia for individuals with terminal illnesses under specific conditions. Following the approval in the lower house, the legislation will now be reviewed by the Senate's Health Commission, with expectations that the Senate will also approve the law. Uruguay's support for assisted dying is rooted in a secular and liberal tradition unique in the region, promoted by early political leaders. The approval came after a marathon session in the Chamber of Deputies, reflecting broad parliamentary consensus on the issue.
