“Between clinical excess and the abandonment of the patient, there is a wide scope for action and medical intervention, within which, in the relationship between a doctor and a treated patient, one can choose the most appropriate therapeutic system”: this was said in the Vatican Newsroom by mgr. Maurizio Calipari, a moralist theologian and a speaker at the international congress which will open in the Vatican next Monday, as he spoke at the press conference for the presentation of the event, alongside mgr. Sgreccia and other speakers. "One of the criteria to be kept in mind added Calipari includes that of the ‘medical proportionality’ of the treatment, the patient’s subjective judgment of such treatment, and the ethical synthesis that results from this, based on which one will administer such treatment in the appropriate and required manner”. Mgr. Calipari added that "the relation between a doctor and a patient cannot provide for one conscience prevailing over the other. If a solution seems to be disproportionate or otherwise excessive, then such therapeutic system can be considered unwarranted”, he concluded.” ” ” “
