----------
The issue of proportionality of therapies and of life-sustaining means is surely one of the core arguments into the present bioethical debate. Amongst the authors interested in this problems there is the Jesuit Gerald A. Kelly, American moral theologian, who produced a lot of works on this issue, in 50's of XX century. This article, divided into two parts, shows first the content of the principal Fr. Kelly's writings on proportionality of therapies, pointing out particularly the elements of main originality, and then presents a critical analysis of the content previously exposed, above all referring to some "problematic" passages present in Kelly's writings. In the light of what this article shoes, it's clear how Fr. Kelly's works can represent, even today, a valid benchmark for a deeper and a more elaborated reflection on the wide issue of proportionality of therapies.
