La ���circoscritta (e puntellata) area��� di incostituzionalit�� dell���art. 580 c.p. fra self-restraint della Corte costituzionale e perdurante iner…
2020
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.

The goal of this case report is to describe the shame and the social stigma related with suspicious of pedophilia and how it led a man to suicide by fire, considering that is an unusual way to die in western countries
Can adaptation lead to extinction?
2005
Ever since J.B.S. Haldane proposed the idea, evolutionary biologists are aware that individual level adaptations do not necessarily lead to optimal population performance. A few deeply mathematical models, drawing from a diverse range of systems, even predict that individual selection can lead to the extinction of the whole population, a phenomenon which has become known as evolutionary suicide. Due to the complexity of both following adaptation and determining the exact cause of an extinction, evolutionary suicide has remained untested empirically. However, three recent empirical studies suggest that it may occur, and that suicide should be taken seriously as a potentially important evolut…

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.

Itsemurhariskissä olevan ikäihmisen kanssa työskentelyssä vaaditut taidot sosiaalityössä : katsaus kansainväliseen tutkimukseen
2019
Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on tuottaa kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla sosiaalityön käytännön ja tutkimuksen kannalta merkityksellistä tietoa ikäihmisten itsemurhista. Millaisia iäkkäiden henkilöiden itsemurhan riskitekijöitä on löydetty aiemmissa sosiaalityön tutkimuksissa sekä millaisia sosiaalityön taitoja liitetään itsemurha-alttiin ikäihmisen kanssa työskentelyyn? Kirjallisuuskatsaus osoitti, että riskitekijöiksi voidaan nähdä ensinnäkin terveydentilaan liittyvät riskitekijät, toiseksi sukupuoleen ja perhetilanteeseen liittyvät riskitekijät ja kolmanneksi asumiseen ja taloudelliseen tilanteeseen liittyvät riskitekijät. Itsemurha-alttiiden ikäihmisten kanssa työskentelyssä tarvittavat so…
La ambigua institucionalización de la eutanasia como derecho individual de carácter prestacional. Apunte crítico sobre la lo 3/2021, de 24 de marzo
2021
Se abordan aquí tres aspectos relativos a la Ley española de eutanasia, promulgada el 24 de marzo de 2021, que resultan especialmente problemáticos: la falsa configuración de la eutanasia como un ?derecho subjetivo?, el falso protagonismo de la autonomía del sujeto y la calificación de la eutanasia como ?muerte natural?. Se sostiene la tesis de que la ley solo ha despenalizado el delito eutanásico cuando se realiza de acuerdo con los requisitos legales; de que no existe un derecho a la muerte y por tanto no es la voluntad del solicitante la que determina la prestación eutanásica y las repercusiones que se producirán en diversos ámbitos por la calificación de muerte natural.
A Role for Judges in Assisted Dying
2009
Medically provoked death, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is a common issue for discussion in various forums, participants coming from widely differing fields of knowledge, among who are, of course, doctors. Substantial legal differences exist in Europe on this issue and in an ever-wider Europe, it is essential, for practical reasons, that legislation be standardised. We would like to propose possible regulations that would provide effective safeguards in the application of euthanasia or assisted suicide.
El derecho a morir dignamente: una oportunidad para el impulso ético del Trabajo Social
2021
La creciente importancia de las enfermedades crónicas como causa de muerte y la atención que actualmente se presta al final de la vida han creado interés en el papel de las disciplinas sociosanitarias en el momento y el modo de muerte. En la actualidad, pocos países han legalizado o despenalizado la eutanasia y el suicidio asistido. Este artículo realiza una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de conocer los aspectos éticos y jurídicos que envuelven el derecho a morir dignamente, el suicidio asistido y la eutanasia en los países donde se han regulado estas prácticas, así como su vinculación con los principios éticos inherentes al Trabajo Social. Los resultados muestran que estas prácticas de…
