- Abstract
The article presents a sociological study on the legalization and regulation of euthanasia in Spain. The results of surveys conducted on society and healthcare professionals on this topic are analyzed. The law regulating euthanasia in Spain came into effect in March 2021, making the country the fourth in Europe and the seventh in the world to legalize this practice. Several studies show that the majority of Spaniards are in favor of the legalization and regulation of euthanasia in the country. Additionally, the adequacy of the euthanasia law, conscientious objection, and the importance of a prior psychiatric evaluation for patients requesting euthanasia are discussed.
