The cases of Uruguayan nationals Pablo Cánepa, 39, and Beatriz Gelós, 71, have swept under the limelight following the enactment of the so-called Dignified Death Law bill (or Euthanasia Law). They both suffer from conditions recognized as irreversible and have expressed their intention to seek that procedure once it is finally regulated. Their cases were even mentioned in the parliamentary debate leading to the reform.
