Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: This investigative work focuses on the importance and relevance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and its connection with the study of the ruling 67-23-IN/24 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador that recognizes the right to euthanasia in certain circumstances and represents a turning point in the protection of fundamental rights. This decision strengthens human dignity and personal autonomy and prevents criminal justice from perpetuating suffering. It also strengthens the judiciary by promoting a progressive interpretation of the Constitution that adapts to contemporary ethical and legal issues. The ruling emphasizes the importance of compensating damages and paying attention to rights holders by providing them with a dignified remedy for their suffering. Additionally, it protects healthcare professionals by ensuring that doctors who act with informed consent are not unfairly penalized. However, the implementation of euthanasia requires a clear regulatory framework to prevent abuse, as well as public education and awareness to ensure adequate support.
