Abstract: More than five years have passed since the entry into force of the law n. 219/2017 which has positivized the living right in terms of the principle of self-determination and choices of refusal and interruption of health treatments and has regulated the directives that can decide ‘today for then’ defined by law as advance treatment provisions. The elapsed time, albeit not long, is nonetheless suitable for some considerations on the state of ‘health’ of the law and on the difficulties of its implementation both for the actual follow-up and for the very understanding of the institution – as can be seen from the story of Alfredo Cospito – already dramatic and the bearer of other conflicts and regulatory disharmonies
