The main objective was to investigate the ethical and legal challenges in Brazilian legislation related to dignity in the context of death, exploring the gaps and inconsistencies related to the rights of terminally ill patients. The topic provokes countless discussions and therefore requires careful study. In Brazil, there is still no legal regulation that recognizes the right to die. Along these lines, Brazilian legislation and its ethical standards are often ambiguous, thus generating gaps that can lead to conflicts between the interests of the patient, the medical vision and society as a whole, as the absence of a unified and definitive approach in situations of terminal patients who choose to find their own existence in the face of an incurable disease, they create impasses and conflicts between legislation and autonomy of will and individual rights. To better understand the topic, it was necessary to analyze the legislation of countries where procedures designed to end human suffering in terminal illnesses are legally permitted, such as the Netherlands, Switzerland and Colombia, which can serve as input for possible legal regulation in Brazil. This is a bibliographical, historical and comparative research, using the hypothetical-deductive method.pt-BRDireitoDignidade da pessoa humanaAutonomia de vontadePaciente terminalDireito de morrerTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
