Abstract: In principle, euthanasia is defined as the deliberate action of ending a patient's life, promoting the end of unbearable suffering resulting from an irreversible medical condition. The present work, this is a literature review, aims to present the aspects discussed about euthanasia in Brazil. The present work aims to present the aspects discussed about euthanasia in Brazil, addressing issues such as the historical and religious point of view, the legal point of view, in addition to analyzing the opinion of health professionals on the subject. Furthermore, the vision presented by some of the major world religions regarding the euthanasia process is analyzed. The articles used were collected by Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Google Scholar between the months of March and April 2024, where we prioritized those that directly discussed religious and ethical dilemmas and legal issues about euthanasia. The analysis of the studies highlighted the complexity of integrating euthanasia into contemporary medical and legal practices. This showed that even today there are controversies regarding the use of euthanasia, precisely because it involves religious issues regarding the death of human beings. Thus, the diversity in the approach to euthanasia makes the subject endless and must be debated more deeply, in order to enrich the range of research, and support the decisions to be made.
