Abstract：
End-of-life care is an increasingly relevant topic due to advances in biomedical research and the establishment of new disciplines in evidence-based medicine and bioethics. Euthanasia and assisted suicide are two terms widely discussed in medicine, which cause displeasure on many occasions and cause relief on others. The evolution of these terms and the events associated with their study have allowed the evaluation of cases that have established useful definitions for the legal regulation of palliative care and public policies in the different health systems. However, there are still many aspects to be elucidated and defined. Based on the above, this review aimed to compile relevant historical aspects on the evolution of euthanasia and assisted suicide, which will allow understanding the use and research of these terms.
摘要：
由于生物医学研究的进步以及循证医学和生物伦理学新学科的建立，临终关怀是一个越来越相关的话题。安乐死和协助自杀是医学上广泛讨论的两个术语，这在许多情况下引起不满，并使其他人感到宽慰。这些术语的演变以及与其研究相关的事件使我们能够评估已经为不同卫生系统中姑息治疗和公共政策的法律规范建立了有用定义的病例。然而,仍有许多方面需要阐明和定义。根据上述情况,这篇综述旨在汇编安乐死和辅助自杀演变的相关历史方面，这将允许理解这些术语的使用和研究。
