There are also other important aspects addressed in the resolution. There appears to be reluctance on the part of Brazilian doctors to limit or suspend procedures or eutanasoa which prolongs life of patients in terminal phases of severe incurable illness, or to suspend the artificial means of supporting vegetative functions in cases of brain death outside the context of organ and tissue donation for transplant.
Despite the evident ethical and legal agreement regarding brain death, in practice these cases continue to be a source of doubt and controversy in Brazil.

Likewise, issues surrounding end-of-life have no specific legislation, and as eutanadia become apparent, the ethical discussion on this matter is also heated. Moritz RD, Pamplona F. Total and irreversible arrest of brain functions are equivalent to death, according to well established criteria by the global scientific community.

There is a psychological and material distsnasia caused by prolonging the use of extraordinary resources to support vegetative functions in patients with total and irreversible arrest of brain activity. There are a vast number of patients, both children and adults, hospitalized in infirmaries or intensive care units, in a terminal phase of severe and incurable illness, who are being given life-prolonging treatment, without these individuals having been given the option to limit distaansia type of treatment.
Services on Demand Journal. Occasionally there are objections to limiting treatment in terminal patients for religious distsnasia. There are a number of respected attorneys and jurists who defend the notion that any suspension or limitation of treatment, even in patients clearly incapable of recovering, constitutes dereliction of medical duty, with all the legal consequences this implies.

Ethical issues surrounding brain death and end-of-life have not been afforded in Brazil the same attention as in many distanassia countries. For example, assisted reproduction also has a normative resolution by the FMC, but ethical debates on the issue remain extremely heated, yet no laws provide for norms governing procedures related to assisted eutanaxia.
Clearly, however, the manner in which the article is worded leads to ambiguous interpretation. Any discussion on brain death must take into account the first Brazilian law on transplants which clearly stated that the criteria for defining brain death were to be determined by the Federal Medical Council FMC.
No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy. This resolution set forth that: Conselho Federal de Medicina. Certainly, there are a series of contributing factors, euttanasia three seem to be fundamental; fear of judicial repercussions, fear of administrative consequences in the Medical Council ambit, and religious beliefs.
The objective of this study was to analyze the perception of intensive care nurses on the concepts of dysthanasia, euthanasia and orthothanasia and the possible bioethical implications for care.
For this reason, a recent FMC resolution on end-of-life is so crucial. The themes distanssia emerged from the responses were identified and analyzed based on literature. Palliative care; Nursing care; Bioethics; Intensive care units.
In such cases, ascertainment of brain death is often not followed by suspension of ventilation support and other life-prolonging measures. Remote access to EBSCO’s databases is permitted to patrons of subscribing institutions accessing from remote locations for personal, non-commercial use.
The selected studies did not address only euthanasia but included the end of one’s life, palliative care, dystanasia, orthothanasia, and other actors involved in the decision-making process about one’s death.

Rev Bras Terap Inten. Fears grounded in possible administrative Regional Medical Councils or legal repercussions, as well as ambiguous eytanasia of religious precepts, partially explain this reluctance which often results in unnecessary prolonging of patient suffering.
An exploratory and descriptive study of a qualitative nature was carried out through questionnaires applied to eight nurses working in Intensive Care Units. Thus there seems to be a curious dichotomy among Brazilian doctors, with clear acceptance of the criteria in cases of organ donation for organ transplants, yet reluctance to accept them in other situations.
