UMA MORTE DIGNA AOS SOFREDORES BRASILEIROS

Abstract

This article aims to analyze one of the most famous controversies of Bioethics that is euthanasia, where it can be observed many confusions involving this theme worldwide. The historical passage of euthanasia will be presented in this text, showing that it has been present since antiquity in civilizations. Thus, we will explain what euthanasia is, whose main objective is to give a dignified death to the sick who suffers from agonizing pains, giving their free will and the right to choose at the time they wish to die. These are the prospects for the legalization of euthanasia, but there are many opposites. The one I will present is those of religions that are almost all against the use and legalization of this method, mainly here in Brazil; that since it was colonized religions are rooted in the government. We will conclude by showing that euthanasia should be approved in Brazil, because no one knows what the other person is going through with the disease they have, so they should respect the individuality of each and we will present how to create the norms to use euthanasia in Brazil.
