Abstract :A pre-implantation genetic diagnosis allows the identification of any genetic abnormalities in an embryo created in vitro; therefore, by exercising this practice, women avoided having to resort to therapeutic abortion, because making such a diagnosis allows you to implant only "healthy" embryos, with diseased embryos being discarded as a result. In Italy there is no legal regulatory body for pre-implantation diagnoses, but, it is possible to find provisions in Law No. 40/2004, "Medically assisted reproduction regulations".
Over the years, practitioners and lawyers have been divided over the interpretation of the provisions laid down for deciding the legality or illegality of dgp; but today this medical practice is a chance for a couple to learn about any malformations and knowingly decide on the path to be taken.
Recently national case law and European have opened a gap in which to perform pre-implant genetic diagnosis even for fertile couples who carry genetically transmissible diseases.
