Il dilemma etico, ritenere o no moralmente legittima l'adozione degli embrioni in stato di abbandono, è analizzato all'interno di prospettive che condividono come premesse sia il riconoscimento dello statuto personale dell'embrione umano, sia una valutazione moralmente negativa delle tecniche di generazione extracorporea. Lo scopo è quello di verificare la coerenza interna tra queste premesse e la tesi della adottabilità degli embrioni, facendo riferimento a due possibili modelli interpretativi: quello che pone la vita come valore assoluto e quello che considera la vita un valore fondamentale.
----------
The ethical dilemma, if adopting abandoned human embryos would be morally legitimate, is analyzed within perspectives whose premises admit the personal status of the human embryo and judge negatively extracorporeal reproductive techniques. The aim is to verify the internal consistency between these premises and the argument according to which embryos could be adopted, using as reference two possible interpretative models: the model that considers life as an absolute value and the model that considers life as a fundamental value.
