据中国新闻网2017年4月21日报道,意大利议会于最近讨论并通过了《遗嘱法》修正案,修改了《遗嘱法》中的个别条款,并以360票赞成、21票反对和2票弃权通过取消此前《遗嘱法》中规定的“病人无权放弃和拒绝医生的治疗,医生和病人家属有权继续采取相应的治疗措施延续患者的生命”的条款。这无疑表达了对病人遗嘱的最大尊重,也意味着意大利从法律上将默许病人对安乐死的选择。 According to the China News Network reported on April 21, 2017, the Italian Parliament recently discussed and passed the Amendment to the Wills Ordinance, amended the individual provisions of the Wills and amended by 360 votes in favor, 21 against and 2 votes Abstained from voting By canceling the provisions of the Wills Law that the “patient has no right to abandon and refuse medical treatment, the doctor and the patient’s family have the right to continue taking the appropriate treatment to prolong the life of the patient.” This undoubtedly expresses the utmost respect for the patients’ wills, which also means that Italy legally will acquiesce patients in the choice of euthanasia.
