The Profile

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.
