Abstract

In two case laws the Supreme Court of Argentina ruled about the beginning and the end of human life. In the first one, the Court settled the interpretation of the Penal Code in a way that widens the possibilities of non-punishable abortion and ordered that protocols about non punishable abortion be made by local and national authorities in a way close to free abortion. In the second one, the Court admitted that relatives of an ill man, with minimal state of conscience and irretrievable in that state, can interpret his supposed will to be deprived of all medical assistance for survival. In both cases conscientious objection of healthcare professional is seriously limited.
