Pablo Cánepa
Pablo Cánepa is a former graphic designer from Uruguay who gained recognition for his award-winning logo designs, including those for the centenary of the Automobile Club of Uruguay. At 38, he was diagnosed with idiopathic cerebellar ataxia, a condition that left him physically incapacitated while maintaining his mental clarity. Over time, Pablo expressed a desire for euthanasia, viewing it as a means to escape his suffering and seeking a dignified end to his life amid discussions in Uruguay about the legalization of euthanasia.
