Eutanásia e testamento vital

Abstract

The Course Conclusion Paper titled "Euthanasia and Vital Testament" aims to make a correlation between these two themes discussed in the legal world. The living will is, as we know, the expression of will that a person transcribes in document what would be his last will, and may even predict his desire for a dignified death. It is true that euthanasia, although widely discussed in medical, legal, social and family circles in Brazil, is still not allowed. Although it is the desire to have a dignified death, medicine comes up with legal flaws that do not allow it. Hence, even if it is a manifestation of will, foreseen and recorded in a will, it can not be performed. These issues and others that are relevant to the current day and the life of all Brazilians. These and other issues involving euthanasia and the living will will be presented here, seeking to bring the clearest information about the declarations of wills and legal permission, which sometimes impose various and contrary ways of acting on that desire that the individual pondered for himself . These predictions are drawn from Brazilian civil and criminal law, which are well informed by the doctrine, especially those that seek clarification on the themes presented, and among them the works of Maria Helena Diniz, which deal with Bioethics and euthanasia, as well as from Hungary, which contains comments on the criminal prohibitions on euthanasia, among other printed or digitized works that provide insight into human rights, when expressed the desire to die, refusal to remain for days, Months, or years in vegetative states or even in an uncomfortable treatment, from which he will not return to life in a healthy way.
