“A referendum on euthanasia, so that the Italians can decide, so that everyone can choose on their own life, on their own death. A referendum that comes after years in which parliament, politics has been absent despite the request of the Constitutional Court to make a law on the matter. Today my Fabo would be here, a warrior as always, fighting for the rights for people’s freedom of choice. While he had to emigrate secretly to Switzerland in order to get away from that body that felt imprisoned. and who helped him how Marco Cappato, he risked up to 12 years in prison, as the law now provides, before being acquitted. “So he says Valeria Imbrugno, a lifelong companion of Fabiano Antoniani, dj Fabo, the forty-year-old quadriplegic Milanese who died of assisted suicide in Switzerland.

“An important initiative that the 5 Star Movement fully supports because it has the referendum in its DNA, but which can also be useful in unblocking the situation”.

This is a partially abrogative referendum of art. 579 of the Italian Criminal Code, on the so-called murder of the consenting party, the only case that in our legal system assumes a central role in the sphere of end-of-life choices, since there is no criminal law that expressly prohibits euthanasia. In the absence of the very mention of the term “euthanasia” in Italian laws, the realization of what is commonly meant by active euthanasia (on the Dutch or Belgian model) is prevented by our legal system.

Active euthanasia is, in fact, prohibited both in the direct version, in which it is the doctor who administers the euthanasia drug to the person who requests it (Article 579 of the criminal code, murder of the consenting person), and in the indirect version, in which the agent prepares the drug that is taken independently by the person (art. 580 of the criminal code, instigation and aid to suicide), without prejudice to the discriminations introduced by the Council with the ‘Cappato ruling’. With the referendum partially abrogating art. 579 of the Criminal Code (homicide of the consenting party), therefore on the one hand we should distinguish aid for suicide, and on the other hand to decriminalize euthanasia, currently prohibited by the case of homicide of the consenting person.

“The time has come for citizens to decide on an issue that politicians have refused to address. Almost eight years have passed since we filed the bill for legal euthanasia, but Parliament has not discussed it. not even for a minute, despite the repeated requests of the Constitutional Court. If we do not intervene now with the referendum, the problem will be swept under the carpet for many years to come, and we do not want to allow it, out of respect for too many people forced to suffer conditions of unbearable suffering imposed by the Italian state “, declared Marco Cappato, Treasurer of the Luca Coscioni Association.

Also because there is a desire for information, explanations, so much so that the Coscioni association together with Valeria Imbrugno has activated a white number, 06-99313409, to call to receive clarifications on the subject of end of life, living will, euthanasia.
