The existence of important epistemological opinions is demonstrated in the discussion about euthanasia in Colombia. Not only is the sacredness of human life in general discussed, but also the ethical and moral recognition of social, cultural, legal and even religious guidelines. In view of the above, we cannot continue to contribute to an unnecessary national polarization of the thoughts, actions and omissions tending to disdain the constitutional principles of equality, respect and solidarity designed without any absolutist claim or any attempt to create physical, mental, emotional, ethical or moral groups.
