Eutanasia e restorative ethics: prendersi cura fino alla fine
Euthanasia and restorative ethics: caring until the end

Summary/Abstract: In the beating heart of today's debate around the rights of the person and the sacredness of human dignity, the theme of euthanasia emerges with the solemnity of a last and unavoidable question: up to what point a society can - or must - recognize the right to choose its end? To this question, pregnant with moral, legal and existential implications, a less beaten dimension is accompanied, yet of profound ethical resonance: that of the restorative Ethics. In a scenario in which suffering - physical, psychic or social - constitutes the tragic nucleus of the Eutanasic decision, this perspective invites a change of paradigm: no longer the only evaluation of the lawfulness of the act, but a wider meditation on the relationships that surround it, on the lacerations that precede it and on the responsibilities that intertwine there. This contribution aims to investigate the fragile and complex soil in which euthanasia and reparative justice come out, questioning how the paths of listening, reconciliation and care can open meaning gates in one of the most difficult challenges of our time, and reflecting on the role that the state and public policies are called to play in this crossroads of pain and responsibility.
