Should end-of-life care for incurable patients include the possibility of euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide? This Seminar aims to analyze the question posed by medical professionals, politicians and academics from a deep medical, anthropological and philosophical analysis of the dignity of human life. At the end of the Seminar, a document of conclusions based on scientific data and rational arguments that will be debated in this meeting will be presented. The dissemination and scope of this document will be national and European.
