This article will analyze the notion of euthanasia and the proposal to decriminalize it, presenting three views on dignity that underlie the euthanasia debate. To start with, I will consider the vision that highlights autonomy as the main meaning of dignity. I will identify its inconsistencies and the problems that such a perspective presents in connection with unconscious individuals, and I will discuss whether a right to die exists. Secondly, I will look into utilitarian arguments in favor of legalizing euthanasia in those cases where the quality of life is not dignified. This will entail addressing the slippery slope argument. Finally, I will examine the position that sustains dignity as a value, inherent in the person, that implies the respect for the inviolability of human life, and I will present the distinctions that need to be made when making decisions at the end of life.
