Sabo Romo Says He Wants the Option of Euthanasia

His comments have renewed discussion of end-of-life rights under Mexican law.

Overview

  • In an interview published Monday by TVNotas, the 62-year-old ex-Caifanes bassist said he wants to be able to choose euthanasia in the future.
  • He framed it as a matter of personal autonomy and said he has no partner or children and does not want to live in full dependence on relatives.
  • Mexican law allows advance directives that let patients refuse life-prolonging treatment, yet it does not permit doctors to perform active euthanasia.
  • Coverage linked his remarks to Spain’s March 26 euthanasia of Noelia Castillo Ramos after a long medical and court review.
  • Romo also pointed to a 2020 assault in Mexico City that cost him sight in his left eye, which he said shaped his view of dignity and care at the end of life.
