Summary/Abstract: Is it possible that under the European Convention on Human Rights to have the right to decide when to end our life? The issue has been the subject of several cases dealt with by the European Court of Justice in Strasbourg, which tried to reconcile the obligation to protect the life, provided for in Article 2 of the Convention, with the right of the individual to dispose of it, guaranteed by Article 8, underlining, in all situations, the wide margin of appreciation of States concerning the regulation of human euthanasia.This paper aims to analyse, in addition to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, the legal, ethical and scientific arguments that can be invoked in favour of or against euthanasia or assisted suicide.
