Uruguay is the first Latin American country to legalize euthanasia by law.
In the past, Uruguay was also early in granting women the right to vote and allowing women to divorce on their own.
Recently, Uruguay passed a new law allowing adults with serious, incurable diseases to choose euthanasia.
This law has already been approved by the parliament and is only waiting for the president's signature.
Supporters believe this law gives people the right to choose to end their lives with dignity.
Opponents worry that the law is not safe enough.
Uruguay is a secular country, and many people support freedom of choice.
Some say this law can help those suffering from illness so they no longer have to endure pain.
Uruguay has always promoted human rights and is once again leading the way.
