Samara MartÃnez calls for a national march to advocate for the legalization of euthanasia in Mexico.
Samara MartÃnez has organized a national march on August 28, 2026, to advocate for the legalization of euthanasia in Mexico. The movement seeks to pass the Ley Trasciende, a legislative proposal that would despenalize and legalize euthanasia for patients with terminal or severe chronic-degenerative diseases. The march will begin at the Palacio de Bellas Artes and move toward the Palacio Nacional, where participants will deliver a dossier of signatures and medical studies to the legislature. The initiative aims to establish clear medical protocols and legal protections for healthcare professionals, ensuring that patients can decide on the final process of their lives under specific conditions. To ensure the right is exercised without pressure, the proposal includes safeguards to be free from economic or social coercion. Additionally, federal deputy Elena Edith Segura Trejo is pushing for a constitutional reform to recognize voluntary assisted death as a formal right in the country's maximum legal framework, emphasizing human dignity and personal autonomy.
