The present study deals with the incidence of euthanasia and its modalities, in view of the principles of the right to life, freedom and dignity of the human person, as a guarantee for the person to have a dignifi ed death, still discusses its applicability and legalization in the Brazilian legal system. The Scielo and Scholar virtual libraries will be used as a data source, as inclusion criteria, articles in Portuguese, related to the constitutional principles regarding the practice of euthanasia, as non-inclusion criteria, articles that do not meet the proposed theme and are published in another language, or are not available in their entirety. A total of 833 studies related to euthanasia were found in Brazil, using the descriptors “euthanasia” and “bioethics” and “penal code” and “right to life”, with only studies related to law being selected, totaling 563, among which, titles, abstracts and reviews were read, so that the newest articles (2017 to 2022) were separated, noting that the subject is quite relevant and the doctrine needs to pay more attention to the theme.
