Susana Moreira, a 41-year-old Chilean patient with muscular dystrophy, is now the icon of Chile’s euthanasia controversy. Moreira was diagnosed at age 8 and today lies bedridden. She calls for the right to opt for medical euthanasia before losing her capacity for communication or to breathe on her own. A bill to make euthanasia and assisted suicide legal, voted on by the Chamber of Deputies in 2021, is still held up in the Senate. President Gabriel Boric committed to making the bill a priority during his last year in office but political diversions have hindered progress. Contrary to Catholic Church opposition, support for euthanasia among the population of Chile has intensified, with latest polls showing as much as 75% to 89% approval. The need for legislative reform is emphasized by proponents such as Fredy Maureira, who saw his daughter succumb to an incurable disease. With presidential elections looming in November, the government has a limited window of opportunity to bring about change.
