Abstract

Euthanasia is a difficult issue to address, due to the great impact that generates life is bringing to its end. This is a little known practice in the Mexican population, since it commitsthe values of each person, disinformation, religious beliefs, and fears that unleash. This action does not concern malicious actions; on the contrary, it seeks to allow a "dignified death" to those who wish to stop feeling pain. The need to select this topic lies in the fact that in Mexico its dissemination has not been sufficient and since it is aimed at students with a Bachelor of Nursing, it is expected that they will be trained in this subject.
