La morte di Brittany Maynard – la 29enne americana malata di un cancro incurabile al cervello che ha usufruito in Oregon del suicidio medicalmente assistito –  è stata commentata martedì da Monsignor Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, presidente della Pontificia accademia per la vita:

«La dignità è un’altra cosa che mettere fine alla propria vita. Non giudichiamo le persone ma il gesto in sé è da condannare»

La Pontificia accademia per la vita è posta sotto la tutela di Papa Francesco, e ha lo scopo di «studiare i problemi relativi alla difesa della vita» e, attraverso eventi e manifestazioni, «formare a una cultura della vita» nel rispetto degli insegnamenti della Chiesa cattolica.
