Still on the right to die
ABSTRACT
The author compares, on the criminal relevance of suicide aid, the two different approaches, one more restrictive and the other more “liberal”, respectively of the Italian and German Constitutional Court, trying to trace their foundations, above all by identifying the different “conceptions of the world”, which also historically characterize the Italian constitutional legal system, compared to the German one and which are also the basis of the two rulings in question. After a brief analysis also of the debate that took place in the context of “A Gentile Right”, he concludes by showing a notable sort of pessimism about an expansion of the spaces of lawfulness of suicide aid, entrusted to the Constitutional Court at most, since a on the contrary, a criminal policy of completely opposite sign is prevailing at the governmental level, that is, of a populist-security type, to which the Parliament will be able to modify only a few technical details.
