Thanks for your very thorough and thoughtful response.
I wonder if you - or other contributors - did observe near the very end of the article:
"By law, Italy does not allow euthanasia."
Apart from the aspect that of course this made the family's situation that much more difficult it also would have given "legitimacy" to ANYONE who chose, for whatever reason - ranging from their own deeply felt religious or ethical beliefs to being a lout who wanted to have some aggro - and encouraged them to act out their scenario..
Anything like that would obviously make this almost unbearable situation that much more shocking for the family of Eluana.
