Sumario:The legal establishment of Anticipated Medical Guidelines, by the law 25.529, amended by the law 26.742, reinforces the changes that have been taking place, during the past decades, in the doctor-patient relationship. This statute highlights and reinforces the rights of liberty and autonomy, by regulating the possibility of deciding on personal health and care. This paper, besides analyzing the local and international legal background, considers the practical difficulties that will arise from the formal requisites established by the law and that are susceptible of affecting individual rights under the Argentinean Constitution.
