----------
The article examines two recent decisions regarding the Italian Act on "medically assisted procreation" (Law 40/2004 of February 19, 2004). They are the sentence of Cagliari and the decree of Florence, both of 2007 and both having as object the issue on preimplantation genetic diagnosis (DGP). The two decisions agree with considering as legitimate the resource to the DGP, really prohibited from Law 40/2004. The contribution places the examination of the two decisions in the context of the ordinary and administrative jurisprudence on Law 40/2004 and the applicative guide-lines. In opposition to what the great mass media report, it emerges from the comparison that the decisions do not express a consolidated jurisprudential course. Moreover, the sentence of Cagliari and the decree of Florence are peculiar from the process's point of view and they are seriously lacunose just on the points that more would have deserved a careful, articulated and serious reflection: the status of human embryo and the implementing modalities of the DGP.
