TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - The opinion of the Italian committee for bioethics "bioethical reflections on medically assisted suicide" JO - Medicina e Morale A1 - Sartea, C. SP - 437 EP - 454 VL - 68 IS - 4 N2 - In July 2019 the Italian Committee for Bioethics approved and published an Opinion entitled "Bioethical reflections on medically assisted suicide". This paper, after a brief presentation of the institutional history of this document, seeks answers to some bioethical questions touched by the Opinion. What emerges is a critical reading that goes beyond individual questions (and especially the legal and juridical profiles involved), and refers to the need for a new meditation on the meaning of bioethics and its relationship with philosophical anthropology and identity issues. © 2018 Medicina e Morale.
