Autonomy is one of the four fundamental principles of bioethics. In the case an advanced disease, this principle guarantees the right to decide, and that my preferences and wishes about the final processes in my life are respected.

With the passing of the law on euthanasia, this principle has become even more pertinent.

But, do we know how, where and when the final stages of my life could happen?
