Ecuadorian acid attack survivor renews euthanasia request after 26 years

María Consuelo Córdoba, who suffered an acid attack 26 years ago and has undergone 87 surgeries, has renewed her request for euthanasia, reversing her 2017 promise to Pope Francis not to die. The case highlights the ongoing debate over euthanasia legality in Ecuador, where it remains criminalized. The development is significant for its personal and policy implications but has limited immediate market impact.
