00:00So the right to depart must be a very inelienable human right, a very fundamental right.
00:05My question is about euthanasia.
00:07I wanted to know what your views regarding this were and if you believe that it's morally justified or not.
00:13Article 21 is not just the right to live, it's the right to a dignified life.
00:20A dignified life includes a death of dignity.
00:24There is no mercy in that.
00:26It's my right to die.
00:27Why? Obviously, I repeat, the decision to depart has to be made in equanimity, in calmness of mind, with due
00:39attention, deliberation.
00:40It cannot come from an emotional state.
00:43It cannot come from a state of pain.
00:47It cannot be akin to suicide.
00:49So the right to depart must be a very inelienable human right, a very fundamental right.
00:57Yes, it should be there.
