Resumen
Estudio de dos sentencias del Tribunal Constitucional de cierta relevancia en relación con la interpretación constitucionalmente conforme de la función que desempeñan los derechos fundamentales a la vida y a la integridad física y moral en la regulación jurídica del proceso de auxilio al suicidio de la Ley Orgánica 3/2021, de 24 de marzo, de regulación de la eutanasia (LORE).
Ambos pronunciamientos se alinean con la doctrina más actual del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, que ha respaldado nítidamente el modelo básico contenido en dicha ley.
La LORE, una norma legal con deficiencias de técnica normativa, ha sido objeto de un conjunto de consideraciones que han alcanzado a corregir alguno de sus defectos más llamativos, aunque ninguna se encuentra en el fallo, donde quizá podrían haberse incluido.

Abstract
Study of two Judgments of the Constitutional Court of some relevance in relation to the constitutionally compliant interpretation of the role played by the fundamental rights to life and physical and moral integrity in the legal regulation of the process of assisting suicide of Organic Law 3/2021, of March 24, 2021, on the regulation of euthanasia (LORE).
Both pronouncements are in line with the most current doctrine of the European Court of Human Rights, which has clearly endorsed the basic model contained in that law.
The LORE, a legal norm with deficiencies in normative technique, has been the subject of a set of considerations that have managed to correct some of its most striking defects, although none of them are found in the Ruling, where perhaps they could have been included.
