As multidisciplinary research, from a theoretical point of view, HTA programs should include the ethical assessment on the use of health technologies and also the assessment of safety, efficacy, economic impact, organizational impact, etc.. Nevertheless, in practice, the integration of the ethical dimension into HTA reports has been often limited. The paper includes the evaluation on the ethical consequences of the use of Fostimon, a treatment for infertility, with the aim of presenting modus operandi and results of this type of analysis and possibly opening the debate. Particularly, this assessment is part of an HTA program, organized by the Centro di Ricerca in Ingegneria sanitaria ambientale e valutazione delle tecnologie sanitarie of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Rome with the purpose of determining the convenience of the treatment.
