In vitro fertilization has become a subject of major ethical debate filled with passion and for two main reasons: On the one hand, it has posed in a very clear way the problem of the status of the human embryo, a problem intrinsically related to the debate on the voluntary termination of pregnancy. On the other hand, it looks again at the debate on access to these techniques, to the legitimacy of the desire for a child and to debate on the new families and from there, questions sexuality, life and death, subjects of fundamental existence. The authors analyses the phenomenon, develops a lay approach to embryo status and from there defends a vision of freedom of access to assisted procreation.
体外受精已成为一个充满激情的重大伦理辩论主题，主要有两个原因：一方面，它非常明确地提出了人类胚胎的地位问题，这一问题与关于自愿终止妊娠的辩论有着内在联系。另一方面，它再次审视了关于获取这些技术的辩论、生育愿望的合法性以及关于新家庭的辩论，并由此引发了对性、生命和死亡这些基本生存主题的思考。作者分析了这一现象，提出了一种通俗的胚胎地位观点，并据此捍卫了辅助生殖技术获取自由的愿景。
