Resumen
En el presente estudio se investigó si existen diferencias en cuanto a la
aceptación de la eutanasia bajo ciertos escenarios planteados utilizando los
términos dormir, sacrificar o matar en referencia a dicho procedimiento. Se
realizaron encuestas a estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Guayaquil y a
la población general en determinados sectores de las ciudades de Guayaquil y
de Pedro Carbo; de acuerdo al análisis realizado se determinó que existen
diferencias significativas en la aceptación del procedimiento cuando se utiliza el
termino dormir en comparación con los términos sacrificar y matar. Los
escenarios en los cuales existió mayor porcentaje de aceptación,
independientemente del término utilizado para referirse a la eutanasia fueron:
edad avanzada de la mascota (39,3%) y enfermedad crónica difícil de tratar o
que cause demasiados gastos (35,6%). Para el escenario de probable eutanasia
por riesgo de transmisión de enfermedades zoonóticas hubo una mayor
aceptación general para el procedimiento en gatos (26,4%) en comparación con
perros (22.2%)
