Yesterday the House the day started with what was supposed to be a celebration of the director Mario Monicelli, who died last November 29. His death was not accidental or due to age, because, conscious of being terminally ill, decided to write his own final, jumping from fifth floor window of the hospital where he was hospitalized. A suicide. It can never be a secular state to accept this fact without controversy out of place? No, in the case of Italy. The commemoration, in fact, thanks to a couple of gentlemen (saving names, which still find plenty of sites and newspapers), has turned into a commercial pro-life against euthanasia, so as to make the gift almost insulting. I understand the personal opinions, but there is a place and a time for everything and define Monicelli "one man, despair" was highly offensive to his memory and his person.
I say openly I do not understand the meaning of the associations and pro-life talk to me right when he says Fazio, "as if anyone could be called pro-death" do not understand why not say the wrong things, but why pretend to be always right! There is talk of a family member who wants to switch off the machines to which more than 10 years and his daughter is attacked right away to talk about what life is important, on what must be respected at all times, how not is possible to know the mind of that person, "there are others who want to live the same." Well, that person, before ending up in a vegetative state, she lived many years, said something about the will! To remove any doubt, just make a valid document issued in full possession of his faculties, which states whether, in some cases, whether or not you want to continue to be kept alive. Respect for life is right, but the respect of death and the person too. Everyone is free to decide to die when and how they see fit (as long as it does not harm others, of course!), Then the choice can be shared or not, for various reasons, religion, personal idea, experience, ... There are people happy to live in any situation, even if it were to remain attached to a machine and it's a respectable decision, have all my respect. But not everyone thinks so and label as "desperate" anyone who commits suicide is overly restrictive: if a person knows that the rest of life will depend on others and do not want to do, is free to choose to stop living. How Monicelli. It is not just for pride, it is also people who will look after us constantly every day. I say a little 'personal experience, a little' for personal idea, I do not accept that someone dear to me to stop living his life just to keep up with me, not because I senta umiliata a chiedere aiuto, quanto piuttosto perchè non sarebbe giusto chiedere ad altri di rinunciare a qualcosa solo perchè non posso averlo io. Perciò se mai mi dovessi trovare al bivio tra accontentarmi della vita vissuta fino a quel momento e la certezza che il futuro mi riservi solo una continua inabilità semi-totale, spero di avere il coraggio di fare ciò che ha fatto Monicelli. Perché, per fare ciò che ha fatto lui, ci vuole anche coraggio.
