Tre Tribunali italiani, la Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo e il diritto del concepito all’unitarietà delle figure genitoriali. In attesa della decisione della Corte costituzionale sul divieto di fecondazione eterologa

The article critically examines the content of three legal decisions (Courts of Florence, Catania and Milan) which ask the Constitutional Court to invalidate the prohibition of heterologous artificial fertilization in the Italian law on medically assisted procreation (Law n. 40 from 2004). The controversial ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of S.H. vs. Austria decided April 1, 2010 is also examined in passing as it influenced the decisions of the Italian judges. After interventions with the intention of introducing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, now the attempt is to introduce a planned and agreed upon dissociation of parenthood. The rights of the conceived child are thus facing a new, difficult trial.
