In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, embryo cryo-preservation, multiple pregnancies, embryo reduction, embryo and gamete donation: each of these questions deserves an articulate ethical and medical discussion. In Italy until this moment we do not have a legislation for the regulation of medically assisted reproduction. One of the most suitable means to monitoring large scale initiatives for medically assisted procreation is through registries that collect standardized information on all treatment cycles performed. In 1992, the Italian national registry on medically assisted procreation was established at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS, the Italian National Health Institute). The Registry collects data sent voluntarily by centers to the ISS for each cycle of treatment started and for each outcome. The data collected can be used to conduct an adequate statistical-epidemiological analysis and to better evaluate results of specific techniques.
体外受精与胚胎移植、胚胎冷冻保存、多胎妊娠、减胎术、胚胎与配子捐赠：这些问题中的每一个都值得进行清晰明确的伦理和医学讨论。在意大利，直至目前我们尚无关于规范医学辅助生殖的立法。监测大规模医学辅助生育举措的最合适手段之一是通过登记处收集所有已实施治疗周期的标准化信息。1992年，意大利国家卫生研究院（ISS）设立了意大利医学辅助生育国家登记处。该登记处收集各中心自愿发送至ISS的每个开始治疗周期及每个结果的数据。所收集的数据可用于进行充分的统计-流行病学分析，并更好地评估特定技术的结果。
