Palliative care, Msgr. Pegoraro: «Fewer weapons and more funds for life»

It is "appropriate for Italy to adopt the obligation to offer palliative care courses to all citizens" with "the burden of finding funds and financing. There is already a good law on palliative care in Italy" but "those who propose themselves as defenders of life must also find the money to implement them. Fewer weapons and more palliative care".

This was stated by Mgr. Avvenire. Renzo Pegoraro, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, after the Veneto law. "There is no right to assistance in suicide" but "the obligation on the State to take care, and also to respect the individual's will not to receive treatment".
