Abstract

Self-determination and the law at the end of life: a critical analysis. In most legal systems, abet- ting suicide is a crime and is punished in absolute terms. This prohibition casts a number of is- sues related to (i) the cruel consequences for the severely ill people, (ii) a discrimination among sick persons according to their illness and physical condition, (iii) the inconsistency of the total ban with the principles of the constitutional state. The article deals with these issues in a com- parative perspective and proposes the opening of a debate in order to effectively tackle them.
