Words said by the young Peruvian, Ana Estrada.
He suffers from polymyositis, a rare, treatable but incurable disease that inflames and weakens the voluntary muscles of the body, those that allow large movements of different bones.
About four years ago she had to give up her autonomy and nurses take care of her 24 hours a day.
A court of the Superior Court of Justice in Lima ordered the Peruvian Ministry of Health to respect Ana Estrada Ugarte's willingness to end her life through euthanasia.
The court considered that in this case are “affected the rights to dignity, autonomy, free development of their personality and the threat of cruel and inhuman treatment”, and therefore established that the Peruvian penal code - which prohibits euthanasia - should not be applied in this case so that the Peruvian penal code cannot be prosecuted professionals who intervene in his death.
