A defeat for everyone. The law on assisted suicide approved by the Tuscany Regional Council is precisely this. For the sick, their families. And also for politics, which he thought, silent, to propitiate a minor evil.
Everything today consists today to extend the rights to divest, according to instinct, ideological inclinations and feeling of time. Everything conspiracy to consider man who is efficient, produces, realizes. In a few decades, the right to abortion was cleared and “founded reasons” have been extended to cancel any evaluation. “Psychological reasons”, which often cover the simplest “I don’t want”. The right to be what you feel you are, man or woman or all the letters of the alphabet, denying reality.
The right to buy a child, taking advantage of the women’s body, despite being so many children.
The right to transform one’s body, by distorting it.
The right to die when and how you want. And why not to kill? It’s called assisted suicide. Give death “pitifully”, it is said, to free man from pain, with a sense of uselessness. But it can be removed from a suffering man pain, it can be felt precious.
What is the use of? Here, the word to serve, in a utilitarian sense, is the dominant of our time increasingly cynical. Nobody “serves”, the world goes on very well without us. But are we really convinced? And when will it touch us?
Nobody judges the unspeakable pain of people forced to immobility, not even that they choose to end it. But that it is the state that helps them is the surrender to the culture of waste and the unwilling will. It is the end of medicine.
We all would like to immediately A law that widens to anyone who the palliative care, who delete therapeutic fury, which provides for the hospices in which to live the disease with dignity. So a law takes and the Parliament must legislate.
Parties must courageously affirm their vision of man, expose themselves, declare themselves. It is unacceptable that a court decides, or a region chooses for itself, especially if it comes to decisions made, it would seem, to oppose a government legitimized by the elections. AND an additional scarring that the approval of the regional law in Tuscany took place on the patient day, Try again that we can hypocritically repair ourselves behind formal initiatives, to silence reason and consciousness, but of the sick, who is close to them, we care very little. AND The Christians, once so much, on these decisive themes, are free from party and united on the words of the Gospel, on the doctrine of the Church. Needless to invent new political sides veined nostalgia if the goal is only the division of power. On life, on the idea of person, our credibility and the future of our children is played on its fundamental rights.
The beautiful song by Simone Cristicchi Applaudita in Sanremo moves because it describes a true, natural human position: You can love an old mother who became a child, you love who is sick, you learn to love him and assist him with tenderness, moving every energy because every moment is not in vain. For those suffering and for us.
