Considerazioni sparse, in chiave comparatistica, sulle proposte di legge in materia di eutanasia e di suicidio medicalmente assistito
2019
The essay deals with proposed legislations, in Italy and in England, about euthanasia and assistance in dying. It aims to confront the different solutions in both legal systems, for the purpose of finding the best result for the respect of the dignity of people suffering for terminal illness.
Quello che la legge non dice. L’interruzione delle terapie di sostegno vitale in assenza di una volontà espressa dall’infermo
2020
The essay deals with the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from an adult in permanent vegetative state or in a minimally conscious state, in the absence of a will expressed by the patient. The Italian l. n. 219/2017 has not changed matters, because it does not explain how, in this case, autonomy and human dignity can be properly safeguarded. Under a comparative point of view, the essay deals with the French and the English statutory framework governing the scrutiny of any decision to withdraw clinically assisted nutrition and hydration.
Riflessioni sparse, in chiave comparatistica, sugli accordi prematrimoniali
2021
Prenuptial agreements are legal settlements by which a couple who is about to get married can establish the terms of the respective assets and economic interests during or after the dissolution of the marriage. The enforceability of such agreements, however, requires a delicate balance between the will expressed by the parties, on the one hand, and the public interest related to family, on the other. The comparison between US, English and Italian family law on that issue will clearly show that, both in common law and civil law countries, the concepts of status familiæ and private autonomy can coexist if they are observed in the light of the highest value of human dignity.
