(ANSA) – VATICAN CITY, FEBRUARY 18 – “The Pontifical Academy for Life reaffirms the teaching of the Catholic Church, reaffirms the value and respect for all human life, supports the no to suicide, therefore also the no to assisted suicide , as recalled several times by the Pope. The Pontifical Academy for Life underlines the importance of palliative care “reads a note expressing” particular appreciation for the decision of the Italian Constitutional Court not to admit the referendum to abrogate the ‘art. 579 of the penal code which prohibits the murder of the consenting party (and would have opened the way to euthanasia) “.
“Now the Parliament – recalls the Pontifical Academy for Life – is called to legislate on the question of the so-called medically assisted suicide, a condition unfortunately already opened by the Constitutional Court itself with the sentence 242 of 2019, although limited to some very defined and restricted situations . Parliament will have to legislate bearing in mind this Court ruling. ” In this regard, Pav reiterates the Church’s “no” to any form of suicide and underlines “how the Italian law on palliative care (law 38/2010) is still little known and little applied today, while it would be a concrete answer to suffering of many people, for real help and accompaniment “.
