ROME – Church leaders in Italy have called life a gift and have urged greater closeness to the sick and suffering after the death on Thursday of Federico Carboni, the first person in the country to successfully avail himself of assisted suicide.

Speaking to local papers after Carboni’s passing, Archbishop Angelo Spina of Ancona said, “death must be accepted but never provoked.”

“The Catholic Church respects every person and stops in the face of the mystery of suffering and of illness,” he said, saying the church’s role in these cases is “to stay close, to care for in all possible ways, that is, to heal.”

Science and medicine have provided many resources in terms of palliative care, Spina said, adding, “Life is a gift and should never be touched.”

Carboni, 44, was a native of Senigallia, which sits along the Adriatic coast and belongs to the province of Ancona. A former truck driver, Carboni was severely injured in a traffic accident nearly 12 years ago, which left him in a coma. He woke up to discover that he had become a quadriplegic.

In the years that have elapsed, Carboni has continued to suffer various physical maladies and has been prone to infections.

Assisted suicide or similar acts are legal in some states here. I wonder how many actually take place.

The left drools over the thought of making taxpayers pay for assisted suicide, abortion, and sex-”change” operations.
