Italy prohibits surrogacy abroad - couples in turmoil!

ROM (dpa) - a huge bang for couples in Italy! From now on it is illegal to have children from surrogate mothers deliver abroad. This controversial regulation comes into force with the publication in the National Law Gazette and is already causing excitement. Over 50 couples who can not get children naturally have announced that they will be over this decision. The wave of outrage also sloshs through the medical profession, which opposes the new laws.

The commercial interception of children in Italy has been prohibited since 2004, but the new legislation continues! The right coalition that has been ruled for two years has passed a law that punishes Italian couples who use surrogacy abroad, for example in Ukraine or Georgia. The punishments are draconian: up to two years in prison and fines of up to one million euros are at risk of those affected!

an attack on family diversity?

The government justifies the ban on the protection of the traditional family, but critics raise the alarm! Homosexuals and sterile couples are taken the opportunity to get their own children. The medical profession has rejected the demands of reporting such cases to the authorities as a call for "denunciation". Every year, around 250 couples in Italy use the services of foreign surrogate mothers, with the majority of heterosexual relationships come. A topic that heats the minds and re -sparked the discussion about family models in Italy!
