on whether or not to select gamete donors on the basis of skin color and eyes are compatible with the recipient couple jumped the decree law on artificial insemination heterologous developed by ministera of Health Beatrice Lorenzin. It had to be on the agenda of the Council of Ministers yesterday, but there is never entered. Given the controversy over the compatibility of the skin and eyes, unanimously the Government after a long discussion has “trimmed” the hot potato to the two chambers: we need a parliamentary bill for the go-ahead to heterologous fertilization in Italy.

Heterologous borne by the NHS

Okay Matteo Renzi and Angelino Alfano, the Lorenzin wrote a letter to the leaders of the House and Senate sending the text she had prepared and which were omitted precisely the Guidelines prepared by the scientific societies containing those points “ethically hot.” But that contained the key technical standards in order to give the green light to un’eterologa borne by the health service: the age of the donors (20-35 years old women, 18-40 for men), the exams that were supposed to do, to limits donations to the National Register, the rules on anonymity and traceability. Above all, however, the decree provided that the heterologous lea is, that is an essential level of assistance, and so as to guarantee to all citizens from all regions with the same basic rules. Citing the public at the center of medically assisted procreation.

“You can not make a decree on ethical issues”

As written by the minister was subsequently repeated by Prime Minister Renzi: “You can not make a decree on ethical issues. Struggles, we compare, in Parliament, in public, entering into the associations and experts. ” Parliament decides is the Solomonic option that has all agree at Palazzo Chigi. All blocked then. Although some believe that after the ruling of the consultation can be from the same. This is the case of the Tuscany Region that goes on the same. So it could happen that couples from other regions will turn to Tuscan towns to make the heterologous waiting (who knows when) a parliamentary law. The decree on “Urgent provisions of medically assisted procreation of heterologous type” has thus met on the color of skin and eyes. The compatibility of which is considered essential for doctors and associations of those who need dell’eterologa to have children. But Lorenzin denied by the unconstitutional because “selection of the race.”

The Dilemma

The decree, just to avoid the opening of debate and controversy, was prepared from the point of view of health. Omitting ethical issues and guidelines. In order to start immediately heterologous, and then update the guidelines after the parliamentary debate. This has not happened. And now you say on one hand that the heterologous in Italy can not be performed without the law, and on the other side that the Consulta same with his judgment has already ‘legitimized. For now, the minister can not comment. It is certain that those ethical issues that Lorenzin preferred to deal with at a later time, a heterologous started, convinced instead Renzi Alfano and not to decide anything: face Parliament. Meanwhile in Italy remains the heterologous solution for those who can pay for going abroad and for couples in Tuscany, which is not always found some legal technicality to stop the determined governor Enrico Rossi
