Frigerio: «Il suicidio assistito propaga una cultura dello scarto e stravolge le figure sanitarie»

In brief

Priest and bioethics scholar Alberto Frigerio stated that assisted suicide promotes a culture of disposal and distorts the roles of healthcare workers. Commenting on new regulations in Lombardy and Veneto, Frigerio noted that the Church views suffering human life as worthy of being lived and emphasized the importance of palliative care.
