Abstract

Discourses on death and dying are multiple, heterogeneous and not always coincide and never fully complement. Each aims to define, meet and own death phenomenon. Each discipline created with its own resources. One of the first problems that euthanasia since its inception is the lot of concepts, types and subtitles in the world. The origin of this situation is that euthanasia only etymologically means "good death", which is sufficiently ambiguous and neutral that generates all kinds of interpretations. Because if we follow the exactly the concept of euthanasia, then we can say that we all want a good death, therefore everyone should request euthanasia. With this horizon so confused we analyze the views of those who are against euthanasia and in favor of it.
