Caz fără precedent în Italia: 10 medici sunt anchetați după ce au refuzat unei paciente cu cancer terminal accesul la suicid asistat

Ten doctors from ASL Roma 1 are under investigation for denying a terminal cancer patient access to assisted suicide. The case involves Sibilla Barbieri, who sought assistance but was denied due to not meeting specific legal criteria. After the refusal, she traveled to Switzerland, where she underwent assisted suicide. The investigation focuses on potential misconduct by the doctors, including failure to perform their duties. The case highlights ongoing debates about assisted suicide laws in Italy, which lack a comprehensive national framework. The family of Barbieri is contesting the decision, seeking clarity on the application of constitutional rights for terminally ill patients.
