Legislative proposal in Italy to facilitate contacts between deceased organ donor families and transplant recipients.

Contacts between organ donors and recipients might be possible in the near future in Italy. As suggested by The Italian Committee of Bioethics "anonymity is requested by the Italian National Transplant Centre" before transplantation anonymity shall be strict in order to grant privacy, gratuity, justice, solidarity and benefits and avoids organ trafficking. Following a period that is ethically correct and justifiable, organ donor families and recipients can meet after signing a valid declaration of consent, expressed on a template valid for the whole country.

On this side of language, pain.

Pain and pleasure, when profound, totalizing, leave one without voice. Under the violence of pure suffering, language is annihilated and therefore the protective falseness of its game vanishes. The impenetrable nakedness of our life, as pain and as pleasure, forces the thought, without protection, to the redde rationem and makes it free of the irreparable unrest due to philosophizing.
