Objective: to find in the literature studies that approach bioethical aspects in the abbreviation of life from the euthanasia and the assisted suicide. Methods:integrative literature review using the descriptors \"euthanasia\", \"assisted suicide\" and \"bioethics\" interconnected by the Boolean operator \"AND\" in the Lilacs and Medline databases, from the Virtual Health Library. Results: a total of 1039 articles were found, however, 24 were composed in the Lilacs database (54%), year of publication 2014 (19%) and language in Portuguese (52%). Conclusion: knowing the diversity of opinions among authors on the subject, the interest in palliative care increases, as an alternative to minimize suffering and promote the patient's well-being, resulting in a more harmonious death process.
