In Italy the gestation for others is already illegal but following the center-right law proposal, presented to the House Justice Commission which adopted it as the basic text, it could become “Universal crime”. It means that if at the end of the process still in progress and certainly long, it will be approved, couples who decide to go abroad will also be prosecuted to become parents thanks to gestation for others.
The text adopted is that presented by Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy. Together with him, another one signed by Mara Carfagna was also presented. They voted in favor Forza Italia, Lega, Fratelli d’Italia and part of the mixed group. “A propaganda text to launch the election campaign with no legal basis and which aims to punish not only the Italian citizen, but anyone, even foreigners, all over the world for the offense of gestation for others. It does not deal with international law, it is legally inapplicable and unreasonable, ”he comments Filomena Gallo, lawyer and national secretary of the Luca Coscioni association, that with experts and other associations has filed with the Chamber of Deputies signed by the Honorable Guia Termini, a third bill, but to regulate the gestation for others (GPA) in Italy in the solidarity version. So without commercialization.
As it has been asking for some time Maria Sole Gardens, born with a syndrome called Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser, which means being born without a uterus. Maria Sole, as she had told Vanity Fair, would have already found a woman available in Italy to carry out the pregnancy for her in solidarity but without the pass of a judge she will not be able to become a mother together with her husband. «We choose gestation for others because, if done without exploitation and constraints, it is a medical technique and a possibility that should be allowed. It’s the only way our son will be able to come into the world. “
With the term “Universal crime”, called into question by the basic text of the bill, usually extremely serious crimes are targeted. “Prosecuting the rented uterus as a universal crime is a criminal policy choice that is censurable from many points of view,” continues Filomena Gallo. «To be considered a crime and therefore to be punishable in Italy if committed abroad, it must necessarily be a crime in the foreign country where it is committed. Law 40/04 provides that “those born following the application of medically assisted procreation techniques (including gestation for others) have the status of legitimate children or recognized children of the couple who have expressed the will to resort to techniques themselves “. Punishing parents with jail with the inevitable consequence of removing them from their newborn children. Does this mean protecting children?“.
