The Health Commission approved this afternoon the text of the law on the end of life presented by all the parties of the Campo largo, and which follows the one promoted by the Luca Coscioni association in all the regions. Now the text will be sent to the Health Department for technical evaluations and to the Budget Commission for the opinion on the expenditure. At that point it will return to the Health Commission, for the final vote and sending to the Chamber.
The president of the parliament, Carla Fundoni (PD), at the end of the hearings said she was convinced that "Sardinia will have its law on end-of-life by the summer". For the opposition, however, the measure will be blocked by the government.
Fine vita, Fundoni (Pd): «Una legge per la Sardegna entro l’estate»
"It is incomprehensible - comments Corrado Meloni, councilor of Fratelli d'Italia - the haste shown by the majority in approving a law on 'assisted suicide' that will be challenged by the national government, as already happened for the Tuscan one. It is not up to the Regions to legislate on this issue, but exclusively to the State. This is yet another, and useless, ideological battle carried forward instrumentally by the center-left, despite the sensitivity of the issue. They have made the Regional Council waste precious time that could have dedicated itself to the many problems that have remained unresolved until now, despite the proclamations that for a year have been the only peculiarity of the Todde Administration ".
For the exponent, "a measure made even more useless by the scheduling in the Senate, for July 17, of the proposed national law on 'end of life', which will regulate the matter and establish clear lines, respecting the principles established by the Constitutional Court in 2019. The Regional Council would have done well, confirming the principle of the sacredness of life, to deal more with palliative care, essential to protect the dignity of the patient in the final stages of their existence, increasing resources, strengthening facilities and addressing the lack of specialized personnel ".
