Surrogazione di maternità e dimensioni della dignità: alla ricerca di un paradigma

A legal approach to surrogacy raises a number of complex and delicate issues that directly affect self-determination and relations concerning the very origin of human life. Besides, it implies different approaches to human dignity, as it is revealed by the comparison of different regulations and judicial decisions on the matter. On this ground, the Author discusses the most common approaches to surrogacy, trying to construe an alternative paradigm suitable to overcome polarizations through a more sensitive approach to the concrete dimensions of self-determination in relation with others and, as a consequence, a full acknowledgment and protection of all the actors (woman, intended parents, child).
