RESUMO
Hodiernamente, a responsabilidade civil médica se caracteriza pela conduta culposa do médico, do nexo de causalidade entre esta e o dano sofrido pela vítima. Tendo por fundamento o paternalismo médico desmedido, muitos pacientes terminais sofrem as consequências da obstinação terapêutica, o que resulta em uma morte sofrida e desumana. Com base nesses pressupostos, procurou-se no presente artigo analisar a responsabilidade civil do médico na prática da distanásia. Para a consecução desse objetivo, além de ter sido realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de matérias pertinentes à temática, formulou-se um caso clínico hipotético com o fulcro de melhor nortear a discussão. Disto concluiu-se que há responsabilidade civil do médico pela prática da distanásia, vez que é por meio desta que se instauram danos ao paciente terminal, o que por si só lhe subtrai o direito a uma morte digna e humana.

To achieve this goal, and with a literature research of relevant material to the issue performed,, a hypothetical clinicalcase was elaborated to better guide the discussion. It was concluded that there is liability for the practice ofmedical futility, since it is through this that are established damage to the terminal patient, which alone willsubtract the right to a dignified and human death.
