This article aims to promote reflection on the human right to health of cancer patients and the violation of this right by the current management system. It presents as a problem the following question: to what extent cancer patients have access to palliative care, so that their human dignity can be guaranteed, taking into account the model of free and egalitarian state provision of health for citizens, constitutionally guaranteed? Following this ideal, the research method used was hypothetical-deductive, through the technique of bibliographic and documental research. Based on the data collected, there is evidence of a lack of supply in the Brazilian public health system in relation to palliative care, especially from a biopolitical perspective. Therefore, it is concluded that the neoliberal government model tends not to invest public budget in the demands of patients who do not have the value of human capital that repays the State, causing cancer patients to have their human dignity violated.

This article aims to investigate and reflect on the biopolitical intertwining between the fundamental human right to health and the gender identity element, indicating as a research problem the question: is it possible to perceive the superdiversity of trans bodies and the complexity of the transsexualization process in Brazil from the perspective of Diritto Vivente? The methodology is based on the hypothetical-deductive method, guided by bibliographic and documentary analysis. The theoretical basis used for the investigation is based on the work "Diritto Vivente", written by the Italian jurist Eligio Resta. Finally, it appears that Diritto vivente has the potential to manufacture new forms of foundation for Human Rights, based on heuristic horizons that share humanity as a common place, establishing, without imposing, the articulation of fraternal communicative mechanisms that enter the plot historical with the aim of promoting recognition, responsibility and universal inclusion of all subjects who are part of the social fabric of the world's metamorphosis.

Developments in medicine triggered an improvement in people's life style and an increase in live expectancy. However, in technological terms, the agony of people with terminal diseases has been prolonged occurred. Consequently, there has also been a prolongment of the agony of relatives within the context of the objectification of people to the detriment to human dignity. Current paper reflects on whether life may be considered a duty or a right enacted according to autonomy of the will. Taking into consideration that artificial respirators and artificial feeding may reduce the human being to an object, one should ask whether living is a duty or a right within the context of previous manifestation of will with discernment? A bibliographical research shows that life has a broad meaning and should not be limited to an antonym of death [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sexual and reproductive health of women is an issue that still surrounds countless debates in the most diverse spheres - both political and legal, especially with regard to its effectiveness and effectiveness in the recognition and protection of rights. In this sense, this article aims to encourage some reflections regarding the search for recognition of the right to sexual and reproductive health of women, involving the provision and constitutional treatment given, in the field of public health, from a dimension of dialogues consistent with the human rights framework. Through a bibliographical research, of a doctrinal character, the narrative review discusses the current state around the theme, with the selection of the consulted works according to the theoretical point of view in the approached context. The research uses the deductive hypothetical method to propose a hypothesis to, only later, confirm it or not. Thus, it will start from the hypothesis that the right to sexual and reproductive health of Brazilian women is not effectively recognized, first analyzing the right to health in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and, subsequently, the sexual and reproductive rights of women in Brazil, considering the reality current to confirm or not the hypothesis. Finally, it appears that fostering and enhancing legal mechanisms and public policies aimed at the sexual and reproductive health of women in Brazil continues to be the great challenge of today.

Access to fundamental rights, such as health and information, allows all individuals, without discrimination, the possibility of developing all their potential, including that of participating actively, organized and aware of the construction of collective life in the democratic state, especially from the perspective of citizenship. Following this scenario, this article aims to propose a reflection on transsexuality in the health context, establishing a dialogue with the communication that informs citizenship and human rights. The problem investigates the extent to which communication, especially the right to information, can provide transsexuals with equity in the health field, based on a process of social inclusion. A bibliographic study was carried out, following the hypothetical deductive method. It was verified as essential the (re) organization of a public health system that welcomes everyone without distinction, however, without forgetting the individualities - after all, in this process communication for information is fundamental, both from the point of view of citizenship and human rights.

In today's societies, in their social, political and legal contexts, public policies for social inclusion become essential and urgent, especially in the face of so many exclusionary phenomena, arising mainly from inequality, poverty and discrimination. This article aims to analyze, through data provided by CEPAL, the persistence of inequality in societies, especially as an obstacle against economic and social development, and, consequently, an impediment to advances in the eradication of poverty, the expansion of poverty. citizenship and the exercise of human and fundamental rights. In this sense, Adela Cortina promotes a reflection on poverty and related social phenomena, proposing the idea of aporophobia - rejection, aversion and contempt for the poor. Through a bibliographic study, using the hypothetical deductive approach, it was found that the implementation of public policies that actually (and not only by law) promote social inclusion, minimally eradicating inequality, are essential for the promotion of active citizenship and to ensure the rights of every human being in the condition of extreme vulnerability.

Society differentiates itself through evolution processes and internal communications between its systems. Health as a social system is a relevant issue for the construction of a worthier society. In fact, decisions deal with actual intrinsic risk especially with regard to the ineffectiveness of the protection of fundamental human rights and the excess in judicialization in drug distribution. Through the hypothetical, deductive and bibliographical research, current paper contextualizes and analyzes the right to health in contemporary society. Systemic approach is employed which ruptures the traditional presuppositions of social sciences and based on the arguments of Niklas Luhmann's system theory. The problem lies in the gap within the organizational inadequacy of the application of law to health in the wake of current needs. Health may be analyzed as a social system coupled to an acknowledgement of its complexity and relationship with the juridical system. Health, or rather, the existing links between access to justice for obtaining drugs and the effectiveness of protection of this right in defending the dignity of the human person, is a systemic process that presents a social and juridical dimension which goes beyond cure and the prevention of diseases. In fact, it provides adequate life quality for people that require adaptation to the hyper-complex stance of contemporary society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The human right to health is a constant concern, which goes back to the tenderest times of humanity. Health, in the perspective of contemporary society - and consumption, is a right for all and for all, referring to the idea of quality of life, which is the greatest good of every human being. Following this idea, this article aims to foster a reflection on the interference of the current consumer society, under the guise of Jean Baudrillard, in the effectiveness of public health, especially in relation to the existing risks and that hinder access to the human right to Cheers. In this context, it is verified, through a bibliographic study that follows the deductive method, the possibility of recognizing the individual as a consumer of public services, especially public health services, so necessary and urgent in guaranteeing and maintaining the very personal right to life.

A bibliographical survey is undertaken analyzing the doctrines on the theme in the Brazilian constitution and in decisions of Brazilian Courts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
