World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported22m ago
In June 2026, the Ministry of Public Health of Uruguay issued a new protocol concerning the approach to the desire to advance death in adult patients with advanced illnesses. The document, titled Protocolo de abordaje del deseo de adelantar la muerte (DAM), has drawn critical attention regarding its operational and ethical consistency.
According to analysis of the text, the protocol clearly describes the desire to die as a specific phenomenon, yet it contains what has been identified as a significant operational bioethical rupture that contradicts its own foundational principles.
