Abstract
The aim of this study is to study the right of children and adolescents to a dignified death in Spain. It addresses the legal advances and changes made in the area of informed consent in the health field for girls, children and adolescents to assess their ability to decide in processes of terminal illness and to compare what is legally established at the international, national and autonomous levels. Criteria for interpretation are drawn up, there are gaps in the law and differences in legislation that can be resolved soon in order to ensure that this right enjoys the necessary guarantees.
