EUTHANASIA IN BRAZILIAN ORDER

Euthanasia raises the debate about shortening the lives of individuals who are in an incurable terminal state or in an irreversible situation that leaves them with constant suffering capable of taking away their dignity and all aspiration to live. This debate places the whole of society, in general, to reflect on the right to die or to live compulsorily, even if with suffering, from the constitutional perspective of the right to a dignified life. As demonstrated in the following lines, countries in general do not have a unified understanding, as they come up against various doctrines, beliefs and laws of each State. The objective is to understand the legal, social and ethnic aspects involved, which aims to demonstrate that living in a terminal state must be an individual's choice and not an obligation decreed by the State. The topic of Euthanasia draws attention, as it involves several conflicts of values, ethics and interests, and also because there is little debate about it in the Brazil, as it is a topic that has repercussions on religious and moral issues. The methodology used in preparing the work was theoretical-bibliographic, developed through doctrines and electronic legal articles, also using documentary research, through legislation pertinent to the topic.
