The purpose of this study is not only to understand and develop the Organic Law on the Regulation of Euthanasia, to understand its scope, definitions, concepts it develops, opportunities for action, and much more. It is also important to understand the "negative" reactions it has generated, which have taken the form of two unconstitutionality appeals before the Constitutional Court. This law aims, through the introduction of new regulations, to weigh the different rights and interests at stake in the euthanasia context, establish guarantees to prevent misuse of this resource, and, in short, to allow access to this resource in a safe, non-confusing way that allows people to make decisions about their own lives. It is all of these issues that sparked my interest in studying this law, to understand its development and its application to reality. Thus, the essential objective of this work is: on the one hand, to understand euthanasia as a concept, its aspects, which of these aspects is used by the law that regulates its practice here in Spain, and what the main characteristics of said law are. We will also comparatively examine how it is regulated in other European Union countries, and some exemplary cases that have occurred in Spain, to compare the process proposed by the law with the reality of its application. Finally, we will examine the position of the Constitutional Court regarding this law and its interpretation, based on two appeals of unconstitutionality ​
