Abstract

The Catholic Church, for its two thousand year old presence in the world and in accordance with his identity and his mission continues testifying that the knowledge of the truth liberates human beings from all that violent and violates their fundamental right to life in all its stages from conception to death. Always attentive to the signs of the times , seeking to safeguard and transmit the teachings and gospel values it received from its founder, Jesus Christ. So it can not fail to proclaim the gospel in the world of life, by which the mystery of human existence receives light, orientation and is driven to full salvation. This article, articulated into five parts, covers the biblical-theological vision of the end of life, to present the reasons why the Catholic Church rejects euthanasia and futility as actions that are not consistent with the dignity of the human person, accepting that she before the illness and impending death, is entitled to receive from public bodies due respect, health care and medication that promotes completion of all the possibilities of obtaining healing, relief of their pain and their suffering through practice “ortotanásica”. The family and the community of faith, in turn, they are the closest ties of a person who is essential to face the last action of his life, must be present, together with solidarity and charity strengthen hope in life eternal.
