Restorable Old Cudas For Sale

Act 40, the pre-implantation diagnosis


Come the new guidelines on fertility treatment. Against outgoing Minister Livia Turkish occurs in the majority "One institutional rudeness" (I . B).

A "political snub 'at the end of term, a" perversion of the law, "a" poisoned arrow. " Pdl, Lega and UDC also occur in unison: the new lines on medically assisted procreation in the Decree signed on 11 April by outgoing Health Minister Livia Turkish and yesterday in the official gazette, should be modified by the new government, is the message. But for the moment, the text of Law 40 on the basis of updated several judgments of the judiciary, including that of October 2007 which annulled the TAR of Lazio vires some parts of the previous guidelines, eliminates the prohibition on pre-implantation embryo diagnosis. It allows the use of assisted reproductive technologies including couples in which man is a carrier of viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C.

"We have given an answer - Livia says Turkish - to those who, operators and citizens, called for clarity on the possibility of preimplantation diagnosis, explaining that the guidelines, as such, can not provide for prohibitions that are not already covered by the law itself '. And, adds the almost former minister, "was incorporated as required by law, with the help of the Higher Institute of Health, the opinion of the Board of Health with all the particulars. " Including those which invited "to implement the psychological support to women and couples access to assisted reproductive technologies before, during and after applying the techniques or following the failure of the same."

Pending a ruling that even the Constitutional Court, the associations Amica Cicogna, Stork and The Other Mother tube appreciate this step, however, hoping that 40 will be reopened on the parliamentary debates to a new law. Although, given the comments of those from the beyond the majority and thunders against the "eugenic drift" of the ministerial decree, not pulling air improvements. Indeed. Comment positively to the new guidelines also Carlo Flamigni, professor of gynecology at the University of Bologna, is warns that the "weakness" of the obligation to fertilize only three embryos per cycle, which "reduces the space for a pre-implantation diagnosis that has a real chance of success and an opportunity to achieve a pregnancy, "because" in the case of couples with genetic disorders is high probability that at least one embryo is 'sick', and it is said to be formed, however, three embryos '. For the radical Silvio Viale, ginecologo, «le linee guida non sono nulla di rivoluzionario, non modificano una legge ingiusta ma correggono alcune cattiverie non previste nemmeno dalla legge» e tra le tante dichiarazioni contrarie, «stupisce il silenzio dei laici del Pdl, assordante e poco onorevole».

Si fanno sentire invece gli ultrà cattolici del Pd, come i teodem Paola Binetti e Emanuela Baio Dossi che, chiedendo di «chiarire dal punto di vista scientifico e etico cosa si intende per selezione eugenetica», sostengono che «la diagnosi preimpianto sull'embrione appare in contraddizione con la ratio dell'articolo 1 della legge 40. Questa diagnosi permette indirettamente test genetici non osservazionali. Si potranno così prelevare cellule dall'embrione, damage. Not only that, you distort the purpose of the law that aims to respond to the desire for parenthood of infertile couples, or infertile. The new guidelines it is as if they made hereditary sterility, with no face and solve. " Shoot to zero, then the association Science and Life that at the time headed by the same Binetti, was a major sponsor - with Camillo Ruini - abstention in the referendum on assisted procreation, "After defending the law 40 squares and neglecting to vote, we could all respects except that we must defend by a minister of the republic. A minister on this occasion showed his whole face and illiberal arrogant and has openly contradicted the outcome of the referendum. " And it also looks at the life science and new government and ordered: "It must now restore the legitimacy of the referendum result."
