Black River's legislature passed recognizing the right of terminally ill patients to refuse medical treatment deemed disproportionate to their expectation of improvement.
The law was supported by a majority of deputies, responding to radicalism, and will take effect when the provincial government regulate.
In July, the initiative presented by the radical legislator, Marta Milesi, had been approved in the first round and now be confirmed in the second debate.
states that "any person who suffers illness irreversible end-stage
has the right to express their rejection of surgical procedures, nutrition and hydration and artificial resuscitation if they are disproportionate to the prospects for improvement and produce pain and suffering" .
also guarantees "that the measures are not disrupted designed to control and relieve the pain in the last moments of life, known as palliative care.
Congresswoman Milesi, Citizen Consultation, had made similar projects in the national Congress, where he held a bench years ago. However, or her initiative and another twenty were treated.
When the bill was introduced in the Legislature rionegrina, generated heated debate among the deputies. Some considered it a step "liberal" in recognition of the rights of every person on your body and other felt that this is an open door to euthanasia. In fact, this is a controversial issue from an ethical standpoint, and from the provincial legal rules could come into question, as it touches the provisions of Article 83 of the National Criminal Code, which states that is punishable by imprisonment of one to four years who assists another person to commit suicide. However, the law passed in Black River protects doctors who comply with the order. The text provides that "any professional who has acted in accordance with provisions of this rule shall be subject to civil, criminal, or administrative."
