Il recente ricorso alla Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo (n. n. 46470/11) nasce dalla pretesa di usare gli embrioni umani per la ricerca scientifica sul presupposto che si tratti di “cose”. Infatti, la ricorrente invoca il suo diritto di proprieta sugli embrioni appellandosi all’art. 1 del Protocollo n. 1 addizionale alla Convenzione Europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti e delle liberta fondamentali. L’attacco e diretto contro la legge italiana sulla procreazione medicalmente assistita (Legge 40 del 19 febbraio 2004) il cui art. 13/1 vieta “qualsiasi sperimentazione su ciascun embrione umano”. Gli Autori, ritengono che sia infondata scientificamente e giuridicamente la pretesa di considerare l’embrione umano una cosa; mostrano come il riconoscimento del il concepito soggetto titolare di diritti (art.1), sia supportato da un importante complesso normativo; contestano la pretesa contraddizione tra la Legge 40 del 2004 con la legge 194 del 1978; sostengono la ragionevolezza scientifica, etica e giuridica di orientare la scienza verso la ricerca sulle staminali adulte, anziche su quelle embrionali. L’indagine viene condotta passando in rassegna numerose disposizioni a partire dall’art. 18 della Convenzione di Oviedo. Ampio spazio e dato alla giurisprudenza della Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo in materia di bioetica in relazione alla dottrina del margine di apprezzamento che dovrebbe essere applicata anche in senso favorevole all’Italia nel caso in esame. Il contributo auspica che i giudici tengano conto di quanto scritto nell’articolo 2 del Trattato di Oviedo che sotto il titolo “Primato dell’essere umano”, dichiara “l’interesse ed il bene dell’essere umano devono prevalere sul solo interesse della societa e della scienza”. ---------- The recent appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (Application n. 46470/11) originates from the demand to use human embryos for scientific research on the ground that they are “things”. Indeed the appellant claims her right to property of the embryos pleading to the art. 1 of the Additional Protocol n. 1 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The attack is directed against the Italian Law on medically assisted procreation (Law n. 40 of 19 February 2004) which bans any experimentation on human embryo. The Authors argue that the demanded evaluation of the human embryo as a “thing” is scientifically and legally baseless. They also show how the Italian Law n. 40/2004, which recognizes the embryo as a subject holder of rights (art.1), is backed by an important normative complex. In this article the thesis on the inconsistency between Law n. 40/2004 and Law n. 194/178 is rejected and it is claimed the scientific, ethical and legal reasonableness to lead the science to adult stem cells instead embryonic stem cells. The analysis is conducted reviewing numerous dispositions from art. 18 of the Oviedo Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine. In this article a wide space is allowed to the Bioethics case-law of the European Court of Human Rights as for the doctrine of the margin of appreciation which should be applied also to defend Italy in the examined case. The article hope that the Court set great store by what is written in art. 2 (“Primacy of the Human Being”): “The interests and welfare of the human being shall prevail over the sole interest of society or science”.The recent appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (Application n. 46470/11) originates from the demand to use human embryos for scientific research on the ground that they are “things”.
