Resum

Este trabajo comienza con una reflexión sobre la conciencia de mortalidad y la forma en que el ser humano puede situarse en la antesala de su propia muerte, refiriéndose algunas de las circunstancias y motivaciones en el suicidio. Por otra parte, se hace referencia a la formulación y postura filosófica de Cioran sobre el suicidio como recurso existencial para poder afrontar la vida en mejores condiciones. De manera semejante puede considerarse la eutanasia, observándose en su relación con el suicidio que la opción legal de acogerse a ella puede suponer para ciertas personas un alejamiento del suicidio mientras que su prohibición las puede precipitar a la autodestrucción definitiva para poder escapar así del sufrimiento insufrible.
