Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] In the juridical colonization of existence as such, can "spaces" be traced, connected to the themes of end-life, against which the State or supranational institutions must withdraw and leave to individuals a non-coercible margin of appreciation? Etymologically associated with the concept of "good death because glorious or painless", in the meaning with which the term occurs, firstly, in Polybius and, subsequently, in Cicero and Suetonius, "euthanasia" - with specific reference to the hypothesis of interruption of artificial hydration and nutrition treatments - gives rise to a series of legal-criminal problems - which at first concern the appropriateness or otherwise of a regulation of the phenomenon - and which are the object of analysis in this contribution.
