Abstract
Proceeding from more analytical studies previously conducted by the Author about the regulatory
developments on the subject of the end of life, the paper contains a summary reflection concerning
the critical issues of an opening, although limited according to the criteria defined by the Constitutional
Court (judgment no. 242 of 2019), towards forms of direct cooperation of the doctor in the
suicide of the patient. After an introduction about the risks associated with a shift of public concern
from the sphere of social rights, such as healthcare, to the sphere of rights aimed at a privatized management
of individual matters, the problems, which are still open in the current legal framework,
relating to the doctor-patient relationship in sight of decisions on medical treatments are examined.
