Abstract:
Summarizing the contents of the Italian Constitutional Court's judgment n. 242/2019 on the non-liability in medical-assisted suicide, the author looks at how the new scenarios thus opened might undermine the safety and dignity of the most fragile and vulnerable people. He voices his concerns on the shifting relationship between doctors and patients and on the delegitimization of medical ethics that must instead continue to illuminate, with its guiding principles, professional behavior.
