Martina Oppelli
Martina Oppelli is a 49-year-old woman from Trieste, Italy, who has been living with multiple sclerosis for over 20 years, resulting in her being tetraplegic. Recently, she has been in the news due to her repeated requests for assisted suicide, which have been denied by the local health authority three times. Oppelli has expressed her desire to end her suffering and is now considering seeking assistance in Switzerland, as she feels that the Italian healthcare system is failing to acknowledge her plight and the legal rights she believes she possesses regarding end-of-life choices.
