Introdução: As doenças crônicas são crescentes, e apresentam múltiplas consequências que em determinado momento, com o passar dos anos, podem chegar a um estado terminal da doença. É importante conhecer a visão desses pacientes sobre a morte medicamente assistida.


Objetivo: Conhecer e analisar o discurso de doentes crônicos sobre morte digna, eutanásia e suicídio medicamente assistido, a fim de visibilizar a necessidade de regulação da morte digna.


Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa que se insere no paradigma do construcionismo social. As entrevistas foram realizadas por meio de um roteiro semiestruturado. A análise do discurso foi extraída para encontrar convergências e diferenças nos discursos.


Resultados: Foram entrevistados sete participantes que sofriam de alguma doença crônica. Os discursos convergem para uma morte digna, sem dor, sofrimento, calma e em casa. Seus discursos coincidem na legalização da eutanásia e do suicídio medicamente assistido; no entanto, alguns diferem quando se trata de solicitá-los. As experiências anteriores de morte de seus entes queridos é um fator que influencia o desejo de uma morte digna.


Discussão e conclusões: A vivência da doença crônica é um fator importante para aceitar a morte medicamente assistida no futuro, sem ser um fardo para os outros e evitando a dor e o sofrimento no final da vida. A religião influencia as decisões, mas observa-se uma maior abertura para aceitar a legalização da morte medicamente assistida.
