Mina Welby, the daughter of a famous Italian politician, speaks out about her father's assisted suicide

Mina Welby: 'I'm proud of my father for fighting for his right to die'

Mina Welby, the daughter of Piergiorgio Welby, has spoken out about her father's assisted suicide. Welby, who was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) , died in 2006 after a long campaign for the right to die.

Mina Welby said she was "proud" of her father for fighting for his right to die. She said that he was a "strong and courageous man" who "didn't want to live a life of suffering."

Welby's case sparked a debate about the right to die in Italy. In 2017, the Italian parliament passed a law allowing assisted suicide in certain circumstances. The law was passed after a long and difficult debate, and it is still controversial.

Mina Welby said that she hopes her father's story will help to change attitudes towards assisted suicide. She said that she believes that people should have the right to choose how they die.
