Osservatorio delle Libertà ed Istituzioni Religiose

Sentenza 14 maggio 2013, n.67810/10

The Court considered that Ms Gross’ wish to be provided with a
lethal dose of medication allowing her to end her life fell within the
scope of her right to respect for her private life under Article 8.
The Court concluded that Swiss law, while providing the possibility of
obtaining a lethal dose of a drug on medical prescription, did not
provide sufficient guidelines ensuring clarity as to the extent of
this right. There had accordingly been a violation of Article 8 of the
Convention in that respect.
