Biology and ethics; bioethics Ethics Euthanasia Medicine Medicine and ethics 19th century France Pasteur, Louis

The article presents a clinical case of euthanasia occurring at the end of the Nineteenth century. Was there an undisputed or conditioned acceptance of euthanasic practices? We will present a short contribution to the historical debate about euthanasia: our reflections take origin from the reading of the autobiographical narrative by Axel Munthe, the "Story of San Michele," a masterpiece by the great Swedish physician and writer. His pages describe a nineteenth-century clinical case of euthanasia, forgotten or eluded by the medical history and by bioethical reflections: although not described in scientific literature, this pages are well known by contemporary narrative and literature specialists.
