Abstract (EN): Objective: The present study aims to analyse whether bioethical principles are present in the Brazilian Law of Inclu Methods: The study is based on a textual analysis of Law No. 13.146, of July 6, 2015 (Brazilian Law of Inclusion) using a content analysis technique regarding the bioethical principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice and autonomy. A qualitative analysis was conducted based on the concepts of these bioethical principles and their expression in the articles laid down in the Statute of the Disabled Person.
