Abstract

The following essay pretends to reflect on euthanasia as a space of resistance and symbolism facing the contemporary society that dehumanizes death and deviates it from the shared social space. The most representative authors of modern biolpolitics are used: Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Maurizio Lazzarato and Antonio Negri. One of the main conclusions achieved is that euthanasia, beyond legal or moral discussions, constitutes a biopolitical exercise in the sense that that it operates as a paradox of the immune paradigm, which precisely enthrones asepsis and artificial prolongation of life, while its constitutes, at the same time, an ontological possibility of resignification and autonomy of human liberty itself.
