Via the analysis of the decisions of the Colombian Constitutional Court in a period of 27 years, this paper addresses the question of the place of the emerging right to die with dignity in the Colombian constitutional context. To do this, it analyzes its consolidation as a full-fledge constitutional right, presents the contours of its core and the relations and tensions with other constitutional rights.

Keywords : emerging human rights; right to die with dignity; judicial activism; euthanasia.
