----------
This paper proposes a study of the right to health as a fundamental human right. Firstly, it analyzes the evolution of interpretation of health of the Article 32 of the Italian Constitution and it tries to comprehend how this right was considered in the past and how it is regarded in the present in light of jurisdictional decisions. Secondly, it aims to detect the links between the principle of personal freedom and the limits apparently imposed by the Italian system. We analyze, therefore, the relationship between the right to health and the public interest, as well as the relationship between this right and Article 5 of the Civil Code (which would seem to limit the individual when prohibiting the full exercise of its body). It considers, then, the problems created by an exasperated independence of the individual, which is often targeted by medicine today, only in order to achieve their desires. What are the reflections on the ethical and juridical plans? Is this situation dangerous? If yes, in what cases? What are the consequences on the patient's body? Is there a crisis of identity?
