A ortotanásia sob a perspectiva da dignidade da pessoa humana no fim da vida

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze orthothanasia, without exhausting the subject, through a vision that embraces the dignity of life, present at death that occurs at the right time, without interference. Orthotanasia as we shall see is constitutionally contemplated by the principle of human dignity as a fundamental right such as the right to life, together with the principles of freedom and autonomy of will, without legislative output positively valued because it is not presented as illicit, the Institute of orthothanasia. We present definitions and differences of orthothanasia with related institutes, so that there is confusion, go through existing legislation, as well as a resolution of the Federal Council of Medicine on the subject. Analyzed ethics, bioethics and bioconstituição in dealing with orthothanasia. Here is the protection of the right personality, the right to life and the right to human dignity. We present a correlation of orthothanasia with bioethical principles, the fundamental duty, with otherness, with solidarity and humanistic ethical precept required for the understanding and assimilation of orthothanasia. Orthotanasia respects individual freedom and autonomy will translated by advance directive will of the patient stated terminal. Health begins to be understood even at the time of death for the patient's weakened global vision. Question to technological advances and therapeutic obstinacy rampant, which extends unnecessarily and futile suffering and agony of the natural process of dying. We stress the need for caution and do not simply abandon, the humanitarian vision of medical care and professional. Refutes up here greatly and unceasingly any other institute typified in the law as murder. This dissertation brings the need to confront these new current issues raised by bioethics, multiplied daily in new and frequent cases, longing for a role of law and constitutional interpretation consistent with new perspectives, and to support the institute's orthothanasia as a real chance of acceptance by our society.
