Dilemas constitucionais sobre o início e o final da vida: um panorama do estado da arte no direito brasileiro
Summary: The main goal of this paper is to draw an overview of fundamental right to life in Brazilian constitutional law, attempting to answer the following question: what is the current legal treatment addressed to initial and final stages of human life? Thus, the article is divided into three sections. At first, conceptual foundations are described, with special attention to the right to life analytical framework, its categories of jural relationships, as well as its application characteristics. In the second, the focus lies on the initial stages of human life. So, in the light of Brazilian Supreme Court leading cases, I will discuss if cryopreserved embryos, embryos and fetuses in utero entitle the right to life. In the third, the legal norms, including normative acts from the federal administration, dealing with the end of life issues are analyzed. Each section is accompanied by discussion and conclusions.
