Paola Roldán, the terminally ill woman who managed to decriminalize euthanasia in Ecuador, dies. His fight for the right to a dignified and compassionate death “has left a lasting impact” and a significant change in Ecuadorian law, his father said.

The 42-year-old woman's father informed the press of her death, although he did not specify whether she died as a result of the disease or due to the application of euthanasia. The symptoms of this incurable and catastrophic illness began in 2020.
