An Ancona court in Tuesday issued the
second ruling in seven months that a tetraplegic patient should
be give access to assisted suicide under a landmark
Constitutional Court sentence regarding DJ Fabo.
The man, 'Antonio', has been ordered to recieve information on
how he can end his life, after last June's similar decision for
'Mario', a man who has been tetraplegic for 11 years, said the
Luca Coscioni right-to-die association.
Association chief and Radical Party member Marco Cappato was
acquitted in December 2019 after he helped 40-year-old blind and
tetraplegic Italian ex-DJ Fabiano Antoniani, better known as DJ
Fabo, take his own life at a Swiss clinic in 2017.
The Constitutional Court had ruled the previous September that
assisting suicide is lawful in some cases, in a landmark ruling
in Catholic Italy, where the Church is firmly against assisted
suicide.
