STORYLINE:
Ana Estrada, who lived with an incurable disease, has died.

She was authorized in 2022 by Peruโ€™s Supreme Court to receive euthanasia.

Estrada fought for years in Peruvian courts for the right to die with dignity.

She had polymyositis, a disease that wastes away muscles and has no cure.

She is the first in Peru to obtain the right to die with medical assistance. She was 47.
