Il decreto della corte di Appello di Milano sul caso Englaro e la richiesta di una legge sul c.d. testamento biologico
----------
On July 9, 2008, the First Civil Section of the Court of Appeal of Milan has pronounced on Eluana Englaro's case, authorizing "the termination of the life-sustaining treatment (…) implemented through nutrition and hydration by nasogastric tube" for her. The recent decree is the outcome of a long legal story that has unwound through nine decisions between 1999 and 2008. The contribution deals with the story, conducting an analysis of this case, from which some aspects related to the request of laws on "living will" emerge: refuse of the seriously "weakened" life and of the responsibility for other persons at the moments of greatest weakness. The authors link the situation of current Italian legal system with reference to end of life themes to the situation of legal system before the law on medically assisted procreation and before the law on the voluntary termination of pregnancy. The way should be covered - the work asserts - is not to support a law that introduces the weakening of the principle of unavailability of human life, but - if anything - to support a law that protects human life in incurable disease heavy disability conditions; confirming the fundamental principle - basis of the modern idea of human rights - the unavailability of human life, always worthy of highest respect and support, encouraging all forms of care and with great attention for the needs of sick persons and families.
