Abstract
espanolNuestro problema de investigacion nace de la preocupacion por la carencia de un instrumento de voluntades anticipadas en el sistema de salud y legislacion costarricense. Dicha laguna coloca a las personas, hombres y mujeres, en una situacion de vulnerabilidad, al no poder autodeterminarse ante procesos de enfermedad y accidentes incapacitantes. Lo anterior compromete el consentimiento informado y las aspiraciones de dichos sujetos en relacion con el proceso del fnal de la vida. EnglishOur investigation purpose stems from the problematic lack of any instrument for a living will in the Costa Rican law and health system. This lack of documentation puts people (men and women) in a vulnerable situation of being unable to self-determine their own lives when faced with a debilitating illness or accident. This inability to self-determine one’s own life in these situations compromises the informed consent honouring and the wishes of these people in the fnal processes of life.
