El Derecho a la vida y el aborto: análisis comparativo entre la legislación Ecuatoriana y la legislación Argentina

Abstract

The right to life in the Republic of Ecuador is a right that is protected and guaranteed in the Ecuadorian legal system, which allows human beings to exercise fundamental rights due to their importance and being protected by law. No one can be arbitrarily deprived of life. However, there is an issue that directly affects this right, and that is abortion, which is widely debated in society. Opinions are divided: some are in favor and others against, but we must base our views on the law. Additionally, by expanding our research and focus, analyzing different regulations and a society that is more open, like Argentina, in relation to the right to abortion compared to the Ecuadorian regulations, through doctrine, laws, and jurisprudence, we can give way to different approaches. Even in Ecuadorian society, it continues to be a taboo, such as sexual freedom and the right to decide over one's body based on human dignity, physical, sexual, psychological integrity, health, autonomy, and privacy, which are enshrined in the catalog of rights of both legislations
