Eutanásia: uma análise sobre os limites jurídicos da eutanásia com base nos princípios da autonomia da vontade do indivíduo e da dignidade humana

Abstract

Euthanasia is desired by many terminally ill people who can no longer see dignity in the conditions of suffering and anguish in which they find themselves and that they have a medical report that proves that there is no possibility of improvement. However, the practice has always been frowned upon by society and is considered crime in several countries around the world. Because it involves not only legal issues, but bioethical, religious and moral, the debate is still faced with great hesitation by Brazilian medical society. Through bibliographical research, the present work seeks to analyze the limits between the fundamental rights to life, human dignity and the autonomy of the individual's will and the practice of euthanasia, seeking arguments legally sustainable for the defense of the practice in the country
