RESUMEN
La actitud que se adopte sobre la licitud de la eutanasia depende de la posición que se mantenga acerca del valor y la dignidad de la vida humana terminal. Los debates morales en nuestro tiempo adolecen de una anomalía derivada de la falta de posiciones básicas compartidas por los que intervienen en ellos. Sin embargo, no es imposible, aunque sí difícil, mantenerlos. Sobre la dignidad de la vida humana disputan, al menos, dos actitudes. Para una, la dignidad de la vida depende del mantenimiento de alguna cualidad decisiva, como la autonomía, la autodeterminación o la ausencia de sufrimientos intensos. Para otra, la dignidad, inherente a la persona desde su nacimiento hasta su muerte, no depende de ninguna cualidad o propiedad. Para ella, el sufrimiento no constituye una negación de la dignidad de la vida. Esta última resulta filosóficamente más correcta. En cualquier caso, no debe dejarse de lado la distinción entre la moral y el derecho
The attitude we adopt towards the lawfulness of euthanasia depends on our position on the value and dignity of the life of the terminal ill patient. Contemporary moral debates lacks of a shared basic position, but it is not impossible to discuss. On human dignity there are two attitudes. For one of them, dignity depends on maintaining of one decisive quality, as autonomy, autodetermination or lack of intense suffering. For the other conception of dignity, it does not depend on any attribute of human life. Sufferance is not a refutation of dignity. This second idea of dignity is more correct in philosophical terms. Anyway, the difference between law and moral must be taken into account

The new regulation of abortion as a right implies a decisive step in the decline of the legal protection of life in Spanish law. The current regulation embodied in the Organic Law 2 / 2010 called the Law of sexual and reproductive health and abortion is a radical change in Spanish law on this matter. What was a passing offense now become a right: there is no greater or more radical change, the voluntary death of embryonic child can be perpetrated for the benefit of the free development of personality of the mother, or the right to privacy or their ideological freedom. The abortion is configured as a right and also as one that overrides the right to conscientious objection.The new law of the unborn life is unprotected, at the mercy of the arbitrariness of the pregnant woman.The new regulation violates the text of Article 15 of the Constitution and is inconsistent with the constitutional jurisprudence on the matter. The issue of respect of human life can not ignore its intrinsic and pure legal logic: if there is a right to life, there can be no right to end it.
