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.

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…
The risks of using continuous deep palliative sedation within the context of euthanasia
2016
Although palliative care is one of the main arguments among the opponents of euthanasia, the individual medical activities implemented within it are not always evaluated unequivocally. Considering that patient in such care centres arrives mainly at the last stages of the disease when intensive treatments are no longer able to help, to reduce discomfort and relieve pain caused by the disease, analgesic means can be used that can shorten the patient's life expectancy and cause death. Such undesirable consequences can be seen in the deep and continuous palliative sedation, which not only is the last resort for pain prevention process, but also is still quite debatable medical and legal doctrin…
Newborn infants and the moral significance of intellectual disabilities.
2001
This article presents moral philosophical arguments regarding life-saving medical treatment that may be more available to infants without disabilities than to infants with intellectual disabilities. The ideas are that children with disabilities are a burden to their families and to society and that a happy life may not be attainable for these children and their families. I argue that human well-being is not based merely on individual characteristics, but is a result of the individual's relation to other people. Further, children with disabilities are not inevitably a burden to their families or society. Accordingly, intellectual disability is not a sufficient reason for withholding life-sa…
