Right to life and liberty - Bruna Carla Simeão Oliveira - Bog

The aim of this book is to study assisted suicide in the light of Brazilian legislation and the constitutional principles of the right to life and liberty. The research is justified by the necessary imperative of the supreme value of the dignity of the human person. Using the hypothetical-deductive research method with a qualitative approach and an exploratory purpose, a theoretical compilation was made in order to support the hypotheses on the following problem: why not institute assisted suicide in Brazil? With a constitutional bias and under medical ethics, the final considerations are that life should be privileged and guaranteed by the State, which should provide palliative care to the patient, in order to nourish their physical and mental health until their natural death.
