Il lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare il tema dell’assetto organizzativo e delle problematiche etiche e medico-legali delle cure palliative in Italia facendo riferimento, in particolare, alla legge 38/2010, punto di partenza per riflessioni critiche circa gli interventi “assistenziali” previsti dalla stessa e circa il significato da attribuire, in una visione integrata e globale, al termine “Assistenza”. Gli Autori propongono infine alcune riflessioni circa l’adeguatezza, in tale ottica, dell’attuale sistema dell’assistenza sociale in Italia. ---------- The aim of the present article is to analyze the organizational structure, the ethical and medico-legal aspects of palliative care in Italy.
