Published: June 2023

Background: To date, there is a lack of published information on the utilization of the Deliberative dialogue methodology and the right to a dignified death in minors under 18 years of age in Colombia and Latin America.

Objective: To examine the issue of children and adolescents' entitlement to a dignified death, including the criteria for exclusion, and to formulate a comprehensive plan for pediatric palliative care. A public policy document will be created with the aim of supporting the implementation of Resolution 825/2018.

Methods: Participatory Action Research utilizing a Deliberative dialogue methods that has been adapted based on feminist epistemological principles.

Results: The outcome of the exercise was the production of a document containing Public Policy recommendations regarding euthanasia in minors and its submission to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Colombia a few days prior to the release of the Resolution regulating the right to a dignified death for this population. Additionally, the conclusions of this event enabled the creation of a guide for the implementation of Citizen Council, in which girls, boys, and adolescents are included, trans-disciplinarity is encouraged, and feminist epistemological foundations are explored.

Conclusions: The deliberative dialogue method may serve as a cost-efficient alternative to replace or complement participatory approaches utilized in the development of public health guidelines and policies.

In dialogue with responses to my article on the emergent practice of conjunctural methodologies, I pick up the question of collaboration and the shared challenges of developing, in a deliberative and reflexive manner, this demanding approach to problem specification, research design, and contextual theorizing. Although explicit engagement with conjunctural methodologies is a relatively recent phenomenon, its connections and resonances with geographical research practice run deeper. This means that there is much for geographers to give as well as to gain from the interdisciplinary conversation around conjunctural analysis.
