Abstract

The doctor has a fundamental role as to the practice of the act, in which he often has the source power between the legal assets in conflicts, as well as the patient's right to life, freedom, and well­being. Through technological advances in medicine, today we can consider humanitarian practices, to minimize the pain and suffering of the sick. Thus, a study approach, focusing on reflection, of these concepts and analysis of the terms of euthanasia, distanasia and orthothanasia in Brazil. And in this context, the work aims to evaluate the concepts that prevail in euthanasia, dysthanasia, and orthothanasia existing in Brazilian legislation, concepts, typifications, and modalities of each topic addressed. In this work, the qualitative­descriptive method was used as the methodological process, in which articles and works related to the study theme were selected, through bibliographic research on different platforms. However, the concepts of euthanasia in Brazil and the vision of the Federal Council of Medicine were defined, an acceptance of orthothanasia based on the Principle of Human Dignity, as well as the debate of dysthanasia, concluding that it cannot be accepted for hurting the mentioned principle and cause pain to the patient. As for euthanasia, it is known that it is still considered prohibited in our country, being a controversial subject and still very questioned. Measures before the legal system are to screw to give the patient the right to life or a dignified death. In this way, we seek to understand the concepts and things about the defined themes.
