Giuseppe 'Beppino' Englaro is the father of Eluana Englaro and author of La Vita Senza Limiti, recounting his fight for legal recognition of his daughter's wish not to be kept "alive" in an irreversible coma.

Father of Eluana Englaro; central figure in the 2008-2009 Italian right-to-die public case; author of La Vita Senza Limiti with Adriana Pannitteri; was a Socialist Party militant under Bettino Craxi (as noted in the review).

Father Giuseppe (Beppino) Englaro recounts his fight for legal recognition of his daughter Eluana's wish not to be kept "alive" in La Vita Senza Limiti. The review frames the case through Sophocles' Antigone and examines conflicts between individual conscience and state law. It calls for a serious public debate on end-of-life issues.

For:Readers interested in bioethics, end-of-life debates, Italian contemporary history and social policy.

 Giuseppe (Beppino) Englaro, father of the young Eluana Englaro, a girl from Bergamo who was in an irreversible coma from 1992 until her death, recounts, with the help of Adriana Pannitteri, the vicissitudes of his fight to assert the principle that no individual should be kept "alive" against their will, enjoying the right to dispose of their own life when it is no longer worth living.
