Marjan Fortuna

Marjan Fortuna is a Slovenian physician and a vocal critic of the recently passed law on assisted dying, known as ZPPKŽ. He raises concerns about the ethical implications and potential abuses of such legislation, particularly emphasizing the risks associated with a slippery slope in medical decision-making. Fortuna's insights reflect a broader debate within the medical community regarding patient autonomy and the moral responsibilities of healthcare providers. His recent commentary has drawn attention to the low voter turnout in the referendum that approved the law, suggesting that the decision was made by a minority and that many citizens may not fully understand the implications of such a significant change in healthcare policy.
