Cui prodest servāre? Due ipotesi di destinazione per gli embrioni crioconservati
2022
The essay analyses the general ban for the donation of embryos placed into cryopreservation, stated by the Italian legislation n. 40/2004. Such a prevision causes a sine die conservation not only for embryos suitable for implantation, but also for those affected by genetic defects or diseases. The essay points out that donating both types of embryos, respectively, to adoption or to scientific fertility research preserves the dignity of the cells in storage, as a will supported by the consent of both gametes’ providers to the ultimate scope of solidarity.
Frozen embryos, frozen law. Brevi notazioni, in chiave comparatistica, su una recente decisione in tema di procreazione medicalmente assistita
2021
The essay deals with the effects of the withdrawal of the consent to use stored embryos the creation of which was brought about in vitro, once the two partners have broken up and only the woman wants to receive medical assistance to carry a child.

Diritti dei figli vs. genitorialità same-sex: antitesi o composizione? Il dialogo (muto?) tra la Corte costituzionale e il legislatore italiano
2021
Il contributo esamina la sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 33 del 2021 che, dichiarata l’inammissibilità delle questioni sottoposte al suo vaglio, ha sollecitato il legislatore a rimediare all’attuale inadeguata tutela degli interessi del minore nato da gestazione per altri realizzata legittimamente all’estero. Il lavoro critica, poi, il percorso argomentativo della Consulta che, condizionata dal presupposto della assoluta e inscalfibile riprovazione nel nostro ordinamento della tecnica di procreazione medicalmente assistita, ha dato per assodato ciò che (la non trascrivibilità dell’atto straniero) in realtà avrebbe dovuto essere oggetto di scrutinio. Sollevando dubbi sull’opportunità …
