End-of-life decisions have always been one of the most controversial issues in bioethics, even in Italy. This contribution concerns the phase following the decisions by which the Italian Constitutional Court admitted, in the presence of certain conditions, physician assisted suicide, in particular by examining the first cases of application of the principles developed by the Constitutional Judge. In addition, some reflections are dedicated to the referendum with which euthanasia is to be legalized, in particular underlining the doubts of admissibility of the referendum itself precisely due to the contradictory and ambiguous outcome that it risks to determine with respect to the conclusions developed by the Constitutional Court.
Keywords: Right to die, euthanasia, physician assisted suicide, dignity, self-determination, criminal code
