“Autonomia do idoso e distanásia” |
Studies and Brazilian legislation must evolve to favor adequate medical conduct at the right time of treatment, avoiding the maintenance of false hopes for dying patients and their families, as well as excessive expenses when life can no longer be saved and excessive suffering in cases where death is already announced, in addition to legal proceedings against physicians who favor human dignity and make rational use of technology. |

“Reflexões bioéticas sobre a eutanásia a partir de caso paradigmático” |
Medical activity must be supported by the Hippocratic legacy, which teaches to improve, when possible, relieve when necessary, and always console 18. So, the understanding that death is an intrinsic condition of the nature of living beings, to which everyone is destined, must come from health professionals – and extend to society as a whole. Its inevitability implies considering that the phenomenon permeates and transcends cultural traits, ethical principles and scientific assumptions related to defined historical contexts and periods. Currently, the phenomenon is a controversial issue as societies deny it peremptorily, which is reflected in the formation of academic areas of health and in the practice of services that deal directly with death. It is urgent to reflect on this theme to transform the perception and practices related to death and dying, without confusing legitimate processes, such as orthothanasia, and illegitimate ones, such as euthanasia, as intended in this discussion. |

“A bioética e os cuidados de fim da vida” |
The discussion of current aspects and a minimum framework of bioethical tools to address the issues mentioned is essential for any health professional who works with patients in the process of dying, to allow a dignified passing, which presupposes the acceptance of desires of the person, without impositions based on technique and/or paternalism. |

This literature review presents evidence that palliative care must be universally provided and the lack of provision for it violates a fundamental human right. |
