----------
The contribution proposes the II Report of April 2009 on the application of the Italian Law on "medically assisted reproduction" (PMA) (Law 40/2004). The peculiarity of the present Report consists of investigating one of the two purposes of the Law 40/2004: to protect the right to life of newborns. In fact, if, on one hand, attention to the purpose of "overcoming sterility and infertility" the Law considers, on the other hand the purpose of defending the right to life of newborn, that is considered as "subject" just like the others subjects involved in PMA procedures from the same law, is too often forgotten. The Report intends to remedy for this forgetfulness and it asks: how many new human beings have been saved thanks to the Law? It makes clear that the most beneficent effect of the Law is that, in the period 2005-2007, it has avoided the possible production of excess embryos and the consequent possible suppression - direct or due to the cryoconservation - of over 120.000 embryos. The second part of the search is conducted also comparing data of other European Countries and it shows that the respect of the imposed limits for protecting the right to life has also guaranteed the woman's health and it has not reduced the outcome percentage.
