Brevi note comparatistiche in tema di suicidio assistito
2019
The essay focuses on the legitimacy of assisted suicide in Italy and in England and Wales, particularly with regard to patients suffering from severe pain from incurable or terminal illnesses. In two recent cases (Cappato and Nicklinson), both Italian and English judges suggested to the Parliament to modify the current state of the law, without making a declaration of incompatibility with Article 8 of the Convention. The paper compares the approach of Corte Costituzionale and UK Supreme Court to the issue, revealing the ambiguity hidden behind those common decisions.
Una teoría de la justicia: Nietzsche contra la dignidad humana como fundamento de la comunidad política
2011
La moderna sociedad burguesa contiene para Nietzsche elementos que amenazan con provocar una reordenación total de la política y la sociedad en sentido igualitario. Con el objetivo de contribuir a frustrar el desarrollo de la cultura alemana en esa dirección -y basándose en su reconstrucción personal de la metafísica de Schopenhauer- expone la necesidad de someter políticamente a la mayoría de los seres humanos en favor de unos pocos liberados de la lucha por la existencia, así como de configurar el Estado de manera militarista. El fin de esta utopía consiste en llegar a hacer posible, entre algunos escogidos, una forma de vida en la cual no impere ya la racionalidad instrumental. ABSTRACT.…

Diritti per l’educazione. Contesti e orientamenti pedagogici
2020
The book focuses on the Convention on the Right of child as the result of a slow historical, cultural and in particular pedagogical path of progressive discovery of the specific dignity of childhood and adolescence. It is argue that, even if nowadays, more than thirty years after the drafting of the Convention, the attention to the intrinsic dignity of boys and girls, may seem indisputable and obvious, however such an attention is an achievement for a small part of the world and, also woth regard to the so-called advanced society, one might wonder to what extent and in what contexts, the twentieth century was the century of children and what is really, in the century we are living, the care…
Il consenso informato ai trattamenti sanitari sui minori e decisioni di fine vita. Riflessioni comparatistiche
2019
The essay deals with the informed consent to allow or to refuse medical treatment for pediatric patients, in a comparative law perspective. The first part focuses on the principle of personal autonomy and the rights to health and to life for patiens who lack capacity, as enshrined in Italian legislation. In determining care and treatment in relation to their child, parents have to take into account the physical and mental well-being, life and dignity of the person, as fully as possible (art. 3, L. 219/2017). The second part of the paper investigates the consequences of parents' refusal to interrupt or continue life-sustaining treatment in relation to infants suffering from serious and incur…
Oikeudenmukaisuus sisäsyntyisinä oikeuksina ja kasvatus oikeudenmukaisuuteen dialogisen pluralismin kontekstissa : näkökulmia ja tulkintoja Nicholas …
2017
The study offers a philosophical analysis of Nicholas Wolterstorff’s theory of justice and education for justice. Crucial aspects of Wolterstorff’s theory are his understanding of justice as inherent rights and justice as inherent worth. Interrelated to this are the concepts of life-goods, well-being and the good life. Within this framework of rights grounded in worth, the notions of natural human rights and human dignity occupy a special position. These notions in turn form the philosophical foundation and implications for education for justice. The study is divided into two parts. The first part delves into the notion of justice as inherent rights. The key aspects addressed in this sectio…

Decisioni sul termine della vita e donazione degli organi. Spunti comparatistici per una futura disciplina
2021
The essay focuses on organ donation as a possible choice for those patients seeking euthanasia or assisted suicide whose informed and free consent has to be carefully preserved. In that case, indeed, concern for the welfare of others, on the one hand, and dying for having relief from illness, on the other hand, could confusedly converge in the will of a vulnerable person receiving medical treatments. The Dutch and the Belgian statutory frameworks governing organ donation after euthanasia can shed light on this such ethical theme involving human dignity that should be ignored by the Italian legislator anymore.
Unpacking Relational Dignity: In Pursuit of an Ethic of Care for Outdoor Therapies
2022
Dignity is a universal principle that requires us to treat every person as having worth beyond who a particular person is or what they do. Dignity is a complex and sometimes contested idea, that at times can be compromised in health care and allegedly also within the practice of outdoor therapy. Outdoor therapies comprise a range of therapeutic approaches including nature-based therapy, adventure therapy, animal-assisted therapy, forest therapy, wilderness therapy, surf therapy, and more. Within the literature of outdoor therapies there has been limited research on ethics related to common understandings of care concepts such as relational dignity and human rights. The aim of this paper is …
