Testamento vital: direito a morte digna

Abstract

The scientific article in question deals with the Living Will, an institute that guarantees the individual to express his will of how he would like to be treated at the end of his life. What procedures do you wish to or not to undergo when you are unable to express your will consciously, ensuring a death without pain, suffering and dignity. It will address the constitutional and bioethical principles that underpin the living will, which is not regulated in Brazil. Therefore, on the basis of this, it will analyze its legitimacy in the Brazilian legal system.
