Abstract
Three aspects related to the Spanish Euthanasia Law, promulgated on March 24, 2021, which are particularly problematic are addressed here: the false configuration of euthanasia as a ‘subjective right’, the false role of the subject’s autonomy and the qualification of euthanasia as ‘natural death’. The thesis is upheld that the Law has only decriminalized euthanasia crime when it is carried out in accordance with legal requirements; that there is no ‘right to death’ and therefore it is not the will of the applicant that determines the euthanasia benefit, and the repercussions that will occur in several areas due to its classification as a ‘natural death.
