Cruel and unjust
M el'hanno raped for fifteen years. " He said once, Beppino Englaro, when the telephone call came from the Udine Eluana that died on 9 February about two years ago. A rape - meant - was those who had committed suicide, but the nuns Misericordine of Lecco, which he had entrusted two years after the accident, in 1994, when the future of his daughter now appeared as a 'great unknown with no spaces and especially without the foreseeable future. One year? Ten? Twenty? How much would last the great unknown? In his mind - we all know, there has told dozens of times in meetings and conferences, and wrote in his books - there was already a determination to extinguish that life disabled, so different from his beautiful daughter, but in the meantime who would take care of her?
reminds the same Englaro, in the long interview appeared in the Corriere della Sera on Sunday: "Can you leave, we do it," she had undergone open arms the Sisters of Lecco. But even that in his words was the harsh tone of the accusation. As if that "we leave it" was not an affectionate gesture of welcome, as if the daughter, the sisters had they taken by force, to assist - Even for life - for him.
not tell, Englaro, which in that clinic in Lecco had conducted himself, after two years of hospitalization in Sondrio, that is around the corner, but where every day while his wife went to stay with Eluana. And there, for the second time, the fragile life of her only daughter was collected by the same hands: why the "Talamoni" Eluana twenty years before she came to the world. Now the world continues to tenercela, with infinite love, finally a few steps from home, allowing the mother to support her Saturna of her baby as she knew and wanted to do. But it tells the
Englaro from the pages of the Corriere della Sera: "The sisters had seen the mother of Eluana consumed next to his bed. Wanting there with them, were a bit 'cruel Eluana and his mother. And yet I had to defend my daughter and my wife. " Cruel - it's time to say - is the tenacity with which Englaro love responds with contempt, while continuing to pour on Misericordine incomprehensible rage.
Describe how cruel those hands is shocking and unjust. Would have been cruel to his mother and her daughter, forcing the mother of one and a tenderness that he did not understand, and the other attached to a daughter, perhaps the only force still able to keep the light on consciousness well hidden, but sometimes peeping (neurologists are familiar with the phenomenon and called "mother effect"). The doctors wrote Sondrio clear view on the development of the young patient: if a stimulus was the mother, seemed Eluana 'answer' obeyed 'how simple commands. "
One night, in fact, uttered repeatedly and unmistakably the word "mama" ... It's true, thanks to Misericordine until it came to power, Saturna mother could be there with his daughter, without anyone to oblige. True, the sisters have given everything, absolutely everything that usually lacking in other people in a vegetative state because of the economic costs, and to admit it is still Englaro in his interview when he says that "Eluana had the best care," even if he falls in its contradiction: everything was "useless." How's life Eluana useless because now imperfect. "It depended on everything from the hands of others, specifically, again with horror at those hands, very different from his hands of a father for" respectable "chose" not to touch it with a finger. " Never.
But neurologists are still to tell us: touch them, caress him, talk to them, do not know how we listen, we know that we perceive little or a lot. And then, at least in this, he said Englaro well, explaining to the journalist because Unlike his wife he no longer spoke with Eluana: "I knew I was talking to myself." His daughter is dead, he says, since he could no longer "feel it." Him
