💨 Abstract

Tuscany, Italy's first region, has approved a right-to-die law, regulating assisted suicide in the absence of national legislation. The law outlines a process for handling requests, including a 30-day consideration period by a medical panel. If criteria are met, the regional health service must provide necessary medication and healthcare personnel within 10 days. The law allows doctors to opt out on moral grounds, similar to abortion laws.
