TRIESTE – «The suffering has become intolerable, I speak in a faint voice, I can’t even cough, I’m not independent in anything. Every day the physical pain is indescribable.” Martina Oppelli said it today, May 23, 49 year old from Trieste, quadriplegicwhich asks the medically assisted suicide. “I can not handle it anymore. Since 2012 I have needed a person to do everything for me. Suffering and pain are enormous. What I experienced no one should experience. I’m not suicidal. I’m exhausted. Exhausted, I’m full of life”, she continued, speaking during a press conference promoted by the Luca Coscioni association, where she told her story and her long journey of pain. His request, at the moment, has not been accepted by the health company. Hence the struggle to ask for accompaniment at the end of life. If it is not possible in Italy, the woman said she is already ready to go to Switzerland. The Coscioni association underlined that «Martina has made the decision to put an end to her suffering and to avail herself of the possibility of resorting to medically assisted suicide. Thanks to ruling 242 of the Constitutional Court, known as the Cappato ruling, in our country today we have a ruling that has the force of law. However, Martina was not allowed the right to follow her will. We have turned to the judiciary and we are confident in the decision that will be made shortly.”
