Martha Sepúlveda Campo, a 51-year-old Colombian, smiles at the television camera while joking with her son and having a beer to celebrate: This Sunday, Oct. 10, she will die by euthanasia.

Her diagnosis is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a disease of the nervous system that affects the body's mobility and is considered fatal, though death may come after months or years.Colombia was the first country in Latin America to decriminalize euthanasia, in 1997, and it is one of the few in the world where the procedure is legal.
Her decision faces strong critics, in a country with a large majority of Roman Catholic believers and where the church still calls euthanasia a “serious offense.”
