摘要

Since the approval of Law N掳 40/2004, Italian specialists have been applying assisted reproductive techniques in compliance with a number of restrictions. Several attempts were made to find a solution to the practical and ethical issues brought about by this restrictive legislation. Finally, in May 2009, the Italian Constitutional Court banned most of the limitations. In the last year the authors worked together to study the impact of the Italian Constitutional Court modifications on assisted reproduction from both a gynecological and medico-legal point of view. Despite the clinically positive impact of the ruling, a lot of technical and legal unsolved issues still exist. Analyzing these problems, the authors stress the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieve adequate legislation in order to improve patients鈥?outcome and avoid 鈥渞eproductive migration鈥?from Italy to other European Countries. New regulation could also be important for practitioners by keeping the risk of legal troubles to the minimum.
