Italian woman in right-to-die debate dies (Eluana Englaro)

The 38-year-old woman who ignited a fierce right-to-die debate that convulsed Italy and dragged in the Vatican died Monday just as lawmakers in Parliament rushed to pass a bill designed to keep her alive.

Eluana Englaro had been in a vegetative state since she was in a car accident 17 years ago. She died Monday night at the Udine clinic where she had been for the past week, said family attorney Vittorio Angiolini.

"Yes, she has left us," the ANSA news agency quoted her father, Beppino Englaro, as saying. "But I don't want to say anything, I just want to be alone."

Englaro's doctors had said her condition was irreversible. Late last year, her father won a decade-long court battle to allow her feeding tube to be removed, saying that was her wish. In line with the high court ruling, medical workers on Friday began suspending her food and water. . .

"We will not be silent.
We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."

Eluana's neurologist has stated that Eluana was physically healthy prior to the removal of food and water on Friday.

Based on this, it was predicted that it would take from 12 to 14 days for her to die. So, why did she die so quickly? Could something have been done to speed it up out of fear that the government would be successful in preventing her murder?

Thread by me.

Neurologist for Eluana Englaro Admits She is Healthy, Euthanasia Unnecessary (Eluana Died Today)

Rome, Italy (LifeNews.com) -- The neurologist for Eluana Englaro, the disabled woman who has become the center of an international debate over whether she should be killed via euthanasia, says she is healthy. All of the medical tests conducted prior to Friday's stoppage of food and water reveal a healthy patient.

Englaro was injured in an automobile accident in 1992 and has been in a minimally conscious state ever since. Her father recently won the legal right to kill her by removing her feeding tube.

Carlo Alberto Defanti, who is overseeing the withdrawal of food and water, made the comments in an interview with the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera.

“She has never had any diseases and has no need for antibiotics," Defanti admitted. "[Englaro] does not have any damaged or injured internal organs. The tests performed at the hospital in Lecco, before her departure [to the center where she will be killed] were perfect.”

Defanti also mentioned that Englaro recovered from a mild medical problem last fall concerning some internal bleeding she had.

“She got better on her own, without any external help. She had lost a lot of blood. She got better on her own, without transfusions, and this is a sign of good physical condition," he explained.

Defanti told the newspaper that Englaro’s “physical state is optimal. Probably, and I underscore the term, she has resistance that is above-average."

Rest in Peace Eluana

Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi has said that he holds the communist president partly to blame for Eluana's death and it looks like the justice ministry might investigate further.

Two threads by me.

Italian Premier Blames President for Eluana Englaro's Death, Vatican Responds

Rome, Italy (LifeNews.com) -- In the day following the euthanasia death of Eluana Englaro, the disabled woman in a similar condition as Terri Schiavo, top political leaders are blaming one another for her death. Meanwhile, the Vatican has responded to Englaro's death and the Catholic Church says patients need more protections.

Englaro died on Monday after four days of partial starvation and dehydration after a medical clinic agreed to follow a court order allowing her father to take her life.

On Tuesday, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said Englaro was "killed" and blamed President Giorgio Napolitano for her death because he refused to sign an emergency order to allow her food and water.

"Eluana did not die a natural death," Berlusconi told the Libero daily newspaper. "She was killed."

"Napolitano made a serious mistake," another paper quoted Berlusconi as saying. He lamented that the Italian parliament was not able to approve another measure in time to save her.

Englaro was "the only citizen to be condemned to death," he said, and added that the decision by the medical clinic to stop feeding her amounted to euthanasia, which is illegal in Italy. . .

Charges May Not Come in Eluana Englaro Case, Medical Hearing on Thursday

Rome, Italy (LifeNews.com) -- Local authorities and officials in the Udine region of Italy are unsure whether the medical staff who removed Eluana Englaro's feeding tube will face any hearings or charges in connection with her euthanasia death. Englaro died on Monday after four days of starvation and dehydration.

Her death was ordered by an Italian appeals court after her father Beppino had spent the better part of a decade fighting to take her life.

Englaro was expected to live two weeks but she succumbed to the starvation after only four days.

Prior to the removal of her feeding tube, national officials indicated they would prosecute the staff of any medical center that would remove it and cause her death.

On Tuesday, in the chaotic fallout from Englaro's death, the Udine prosecutor's office has ordered an autopsy on Englaro's body.

Public prosecutor in nearby Trieste, Beniamino Deidda, told the Italian news agency ANSA, ''For the moment we have no news from the commission of any crime."

Meanwhile, the Udine branch of the Italian Medical Association is planning a hearing on Thursday to establish whether disciplinary proceedings should go ahead for the medical team that removed her feeding tube. . .
