Eutanásia à luz da responsabilidade médica

Abstract

Legal questions involving the field of bioethics are extremely relevant to the social environment, especially with regard to human life. The euthanasia theme is controversial, because it is an obscure theme, because there is no regulation that deals directly with the theme. Over time, the doctor has a fundamental role as to the practice of the act, as he is faced with events in which he will have to choose between conflicting legal assets, such as the right to life, freedom, relationship with the patient, autonomy of will, health , patient well-being, among others. In this way, the dilemma that must be observed is due to the suffering of an individual who is reaching the end of his life having to decide between the right to life or a dignified death. This article has the purpose of punctuating the concept and history of euthanasia, together with the responsibility that is given to the doctor, without the end of the trajectory, the responsible physician is to be blamed for the practical act, while questioning the right to death worthy. And finally bringing a reflection on the exposition of the need for a legal order that clearly deals with the legalization of euthanasia, with the patient's consent.
