ROME, Italy — Over 750,000 Italians have signed a petition for a public referendum on legalizing euthanasia, guaranteeing its presence in the next national elections, local media reported this week.
The three-quarters of a million signatures collected so far comfortably surpass the 500,000 needed to force an Italian referendum on the issue, and observers suggest the referendum could be voted on as early as next year.
Italy, which has the oldest population of any country in Europe and the second oldest population in the entire world, may soon legalize an escape chute for those wishing to unburden family members or the state. Even for those who do not wish it, the pressure to “do the right thing” will be substantial.

Was just last year they were worried about Covid killing off all the old folks.
Just can’t make up their minds.
I have visited friends who had the misfortune to wind up in an Italian hospital. With the level of care that I witnessed, they don’t need to practice euthanasia.
They don’t need euthanasia. Covid will do it.
WOW
Why stop at the elderly? Drop the age to 30 as in LOGAN’S RUN.
Socialized medicine will do it.
Just look at the the UK’s NHS and how it treats seniors. Including the ones who don’t have a death wish.
It’s interesting to see the Catholic Church reap what it has sown over the course of many years. State-sponsored euthanasia is the inevitable consequence of having health care systems run by secular governments. And the Church has been instrumental in making that happen everywhere it has exerted any influence at all.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Italian government import and enthusiastically bring in thousands of Chinese to help ease the “labor burden” caused by their aged population? If my memory serves me correctly right up to the destruction the first wave of Covid caused Italy the government was a running a “Hug a Chinaman” campaign to counter bias among the masses.
What’s your point? Mandated “suicide” is the answer?
Those old politicians should be at the front of the line.
It seems the Nazis won after all.
That’s the ticket.Kill off the elderly,That will increase the birth rates.I think not.
This is the flip side of pure evil abortion. Just as evil
They already have the clot shot.
They almost killed me there when I was a small child.
Hmmn, Biden meets the criteria, he's a burden to all.
So COVID didn’t work well for them
I don’t know. But not much of a life. It depends on if you feel she deserves that. Some provably do feel the way you do.
