10 medici sunt anchetați în Italia după ce i-au refuzat unei paciente cu cancer terminal accesul la suicid asistat

Ten doctors from ASL Roma 1 are under investigation for denying terminally ill patient Sibilla Barbieri access to assisted suicide. Barbieri, who suffered from terminal cancer, requested assisted suicide in 2023 but was denied due to not meeting specific legal criteria. After being refused, she traveled to Switzerland, where she underwent assisted suicide in October 2023. The case has sparked a debate on the legal framework surrounding assisted suicide in Italy, which lacks a comprehensive national law. The family of Barbieri is contesting the decision and seeking further investigation into the handling of her request. The judge will decide the next steps regarding the case, which could include continuing the investigation or dismissing it.
