Abstract

The article deals with the question of how to guarantee the autonomy of the will and human dignity with euthanasia, respect for dignified death and following the will and the precepts of the patient. It also shows the need to verify the patient's ability to consent when he expresses his will. The objectives are to conceptualize, in a concise way, the principles of the dignity of the human person and the autonomy of the will; demonstrate that currently, in Brazil, in relation to euthanasia, are being suppressed; define euthanasia and its specificities, together with the global context to which it is inserted. And, finally, to explain about the autonomy of the patient's will and his ability to consent. The methodology used consists of a study carried out by means of bibliographical and documentary review, explanatory. Thus, in order to have respect for the autonomy of the will, it is necessary to investigate the validity and trustworthiness of the expression of will expressed by the patient. This must have the ability to consent, as well as not be subjected to any irresistible constraint. The autonomy of the will must be real, without any internal or external interference of the patient.
