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.
