«Il diritto di morire» is the philosophical essay by Umberto Veronesi on the freedom of the secular person in the face of suffering, published by Mondadori in paperback.
Veronesi addresses euthanasia and the right to die with dignity: he criticises that sometimes curing prevents caring, calls for an Italian law on living wills, analyses palliative care and opioids, compares European legislation and asks whether it is lawful to prevent someone from disposing of an unbearable life.
First edition of 2005; 102 pages, in Italian.
For readers interested in bioethics and the debate on euthanasia, living wills and the end of life.
