The City Council

expresses

its sympathy to the family Englaro for the painful end of a long and difficult journey undertaken by them con grande umanità e consapevolezza del valore della vita e della dignità della persona;

auspica che

nel rispetto reciproco delle diversità di opinioni culturali o delle convinzioni religiose, tutti sappiano comprendere che le proprie convinzioni non possono essere imposte ad altri e che la libertà personale e la laicità dello Stato sono principi fondamentali della nostra Costituzione;

respinge e denuncia che

- con la loro proposta di “testamento biologico” il Governo Berlusconi e la maggioranza di centro-destra vogliono imporre principi religiosi, pur degni del massimo rispetto quali personal choices, which affect the fundamental rights of citizens, that they are believers or secular;

- a violation of this fundamental principle of the Italian Constitution is of such gravity, as has been authoritatively written, which makes it impossible to that this weak point will not be remedied with the approval of a text that respects the Constitution, any possibility of amending it by a government that violates easily;

called on the Government

- to do hear the voice of this determination by the City Council directed the adoption of a law on "living wills" that, in respect of the secular state and religious or cultural beliefs of the individual, contains simple rules for the registration of the choices of the person concerned and some essential principles, such as:

• free choice about advance directives for the final stages of their lives;

• an indication of a guardian to represent the will of the patient no longer able to communicate;

• the possibility of withdrawal of a forced and invasive therapeutic interventions;

• the inclusion of forced hydration and nutrition among personal choices that can be accepted or rejected;

- to ensure that regional public services are always able to guarantee people their rights and their will as protected by the Constitution and the laws or Italian European checking if any "conscientious objection" by the staff comply with the Italian and European legislation;

- to intervene in every home and in the Conference of State to oppose firmly and without hesitation to every choice denies the fundamental principles of the Constitution.
