TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - The "circumscribed (and underpinned) area" of unconstitutionality of art. 580 c.p. between the self-restraint of the constitutional court and the persistent inertia of legislator JO - BioLaw Journal A1 - Bucalo, M.E. SP - 99 EP - 121 VL - 2020 IS - 1 N2 - With the decision on the "Cappato case" the Constitutional Court did not create the right to medically assisted suicide, which, moreover, the constitutional order does not contemplate, but only identified a "circumscribed area" of unconstitutionality of art. 580 of the Italian Criminal Code, supporting it with regulatory and procedural props. In this way, the Court demonstrated its self-restraint respectful of Parliament's discretion and underlined the persistence of the need for legislative intervention in such a sensitive matter. © 2020, University of Trento.
