DOI: 10.15406/hpmij.2018.02.00120 Brazil has signed an Inter-American Convention on the Human Rights of Older Persons, in which it commits to respect the autonomy of older persons in decisions concerning their health and to introduce palliative care to improve their quality of life. The law requires free, prior and informed consent for the implementation of treatments, procedures, hospitalizations and scientific research. The terminally ill are prevented from participating fully and effectively in society on an equal footing and may be considered persons with disabilities who benefit from existing legal protection. Persons with disabilities under guardianship should have ensured their participation in obtaining consent to the extent possible. The legislator chose to give people with intellectual disabilities maximum participation in health decisions, in accordance with Martha Nussbaum`s theory of abilities, which suggests maximum use of the individual`s functionalities.

He will not only provide competent analysis of legal points, but will also have a solid understanding of expertise and factual evidence. Chambers UK reports that “his greatest strength is the speed at which his mind works – he is able to deal quickly with complex technical problems and develop a response strategy” and “he is very calm and unflappable – a cool head in a crisis”.

The mantle protects the body, and also the manifestation of the will of individuals, so that their autonomy is respected if they cannot manifest their will. We can all leave our previous desires, manifested by the living will, in writing or by video and appoint someone to enforce those wishes or make decisions in situations that are not yet imaginable.

The firm was born out of the growing market need for a focused and agile boutique for the construction, infrastructure and energy sectors, in particular a boutique specializing in arbitration and litigation.
The UAE`s leading construction litigation shop is expanding its international reach and influence to mitigate, protect and provide care before the end. Verbs to be practiced by the health team and lawyers. In Brazil, there is no law on living wills, which include the living will and the appointment of a person to execute the will. If the medical diagnosis indicates that the person will soon die, there is the analysis of the clinical picture and the absence of reaction of the patient to the procedures performed, based on medical protocols. Some symptoms remain unchanged and the organic imbalance increases to the point that recognition of the irreversibility of the disease is inevitable.3–5 Our company is new; Born in 2020, we combine state-of-the-art project management and delivery models with innovative pricing that has never been more important to our clients than it is today. People who want their previous desires to manifest themselves should make it clear that they do not want unnecessary or unnecessary procedures, that only treatments with a remedy should be performed, and that therapeutic persistence should be avoided. A simple document signed by the person. This document can be notarized, but in Brazil it is not required by law.
More importantly, other people know that such a document exists and submit it if necessary. Some practitioners believe that notarization brings formality to the document and makes it mandatory, although this is not required by law. The manifestation of the individual is sufficient to make respect obligatory, since the Brazilian Constitution guarantees the fundamental right to liberty, as well as the right to life.

It is not necessary for the individual, in the case of an incurable disease and the end of life, to indicate exactly which procedure he accepts or not. In fact, it is the manifestation of the refusal to accept procedures that do not offer a cure and are only intended to delay the death that will result from the disease, and not the absence of a specific procedure. If one ceases to provide a patient with artificial respiration, this act can be called not a crime of murder, but an absolute futility of the application of this procedure, since the medical diagnosis indicates its uselessness and futility. This does not mean that the person will die in pain with shortness of breath, as palliative care professionals know how to make that person comfortable even without artificial respiration.
