This article analyses the current situation of medically assisted reproduction in Italy after the issuance of Law 40 in 2004. This law is actually completely different from its first version. In fact, the controversial points, like reproduction for couples with genetic diseases, prohibition of heterologous fertilization, cryoconservation of embryos, obligation to perform just one and simultaneous implant of all the embryos produced, are definitively not in force today. This new situation can be explained not only by rules issued by Italian courts but, in particular, by changes introduced by the European Court of Human Rights and by questions of constitutional legitimacy raised by some Italian Courts. After ten years from the issue of this law, Italy has returned to the pre-existing situation. The old law was only full of prohibitions. Now, heterologous fertilization is possible and this article gives a picture of the present situation in hospitals for assisted procreation in Italy.
本文分析了2004年第40号法律颁布后意大利医学辅助生殖的现状。该法律实际上与最初版本截然不同。事实上，诸如为患有遗传疾病的夫妇进行生殖、禁止异源受精、胚胎冷冻保存、强制只植入所产生的所有胚胎中的一个且同时植入等有争议的条款，如今已完全失效。这种新情况不仅可以用意大利法院发布的规定来解释，特别是欧洲人权法院引入的变化以及一些意大利法院提出的宪法合法性问题。在该法律颁布十年后，意大利已恢复到先前的状况。旧法律只是充满了各种禁令。现在，异源受精成为可能，本文描绘了意大利辅助生殖医院的现状。
