The introduction to the volume uses the metaphor of the river Acheron, a mythological symbol of the border between life and death, to reflect on the ethical, legal and technical thresholds that human beings are called upon to cross today in borderline situations such as birth, death and the management of life. The text proposes a legal-philosophical reflection on three emblematic areas—surrogacy, voluntary interruption of life and triage—to investigate the tensions between self-determination, human dignity, the limits of law and the boundaries of ethics in a constantly evolving scientific and technological context.

摘要

The introduction to the volume uses the metaphor of the river Acheron, a mythological symbol of the border between life and death, to reflect on the ethical, legal and technical thresholds that human beings are called upon to cross today in borderline situations such as birth, death and the management of life. The text proposes a legal-philosophical reflection on three emblematic areas—surrogacy, voluntary interruption of life and triage—to investigate the tensions between self-determination, human dignity, the limits of law and the boundaries of ethics in a constantly evolving scientific and technological context.
