Ecuador's Constitutional Court has voted to make euthanasia legal in the country. The country's Ministry of Health must develop regulations for euthanasia within two months.

In 2022, French-Swiss director Jean-Luc Godard passed away by euthanasia. Last summer, a court in Cyprus freed a British man who strangled his wife at her request. The court's decision was reported by the press service of the court. The decision was made by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Ecuador.
