The recent collapse by the Congress of the Republic of Colombia of the second attempt to regulate the right to die with dignity raises the obligation to reflect on a deeply complex issue because it goes beyond the sphere of discussion, from the social or purely legal terrain towards the orbit of ethics; Therefore, of philosophy, in response to this, this writing will raise the reflection considering the confessional nature of which, transcendental decisions of the legislator have been impregnated, as well as hindering constitutional principles such as plurality, human dignity and autonomy, fundamental in a State that, by popular vocation, declared itself Social and Democratic in Law.

The protagonists of this writing will be, on the one hand, the legislator in his role as assignor of names, on the other the Catholic Church as an institution capable of linking the initiative of the faithful.
