With the decision on the ���Cappato case��� the Constitutional Court did not create the right to medically assisted suicide, which, moreover, the constitutional order does not contemplate, but only identified a ���circumscribed area��� of unconstitutionality of art. 580 of the Italian Criminal Code, supporting it with regulatory and procedural props. In this way, the Court demonstrated its self-restraint respectful of Parliament���s discretion and underlined the persistence of the need for legislative intervention in such a sensitive matter.
