Eutanasia ou suicídio asistido: o direito à vida e a resistência de aceitação em pleno século XXI

Abstract

Even though the process of society's development has taken place over the years, it is clear that there are still scenarios that need to be seen with a special focus on offering greater security and guarantee for people. With this progress, came the emergence of diseases, whose cure diagnosis has not yet been proven by Medicine, even though palliative treatments exist. It turns out that, questioning the absence of legislation or even the affirmation of euthanasia or assisted suicide for cases where there is no cure, is still necessary. Above all, when we realize that the current penal code of 1940 needs to contemplate new modalities of crime, which do not include any subsumption, with regard to crimes against life already resulting in the legal diploma. In this way, we have as crucial objectives for the study of this case, analysis of the historical and principled question, as well as, sense the process of maturing of other countries in the process of acceptance of this practice and identify a possibility of the existence of laws, projects, to resolve to talk about the subject. The research carried out was a bibliographical research that served to gather existing information on the subject. Finally, through the study carried out, it was possible to identify that although there are bills that already analyze the issue, there are still obstacles to its legalization.
