Objectives: The present study aims to conduct a theoretical analysis about the right to a dignified death, based on the principle of human dignity and ethics at the end of life. Some very important concepts and procedures for understanding the topic will be presented, including euthanasia, dysthanasia, assisted suicide and orthothanasia, in addition to the autonomy of will that must be taken into consideration for patients who are in the terminal stage. Method: The methodology used in this article is for qualitative and bibliographic research on the topic in question. Results: Death with dignity in cases of terminally ill patients is a subject that deserves more attention, since in some situations there is more-to do, as it is known that the patient will not survive. It is important to emphasize that that person who is in full mental health and has made the decision regarding his death in a free and responsible manner, must have his will (desire) taken into account, as he is in those uncomfortable (terminal) situations, in addition to suffering, of anguish, also affects their morale. Conclusion: The subject of euthanasia is a very old one and the population is afraid to talk clearly about death, because for some people it is the end point in itself. Thus, they leave the subject on the subject too ignored. But the State must, through concrete cases with terminally ill patients, analyze and let the patient or family choose to die, a decision that should not be seen as disrespecting the Constitution.
