Li has carried in the womb, nurtured, protected for eight months, and now has given them to light.
“We are happy. Very happy: our children are born, they’re good and we have already recorded to the registry. No one can keep them out. ”
It is a boundless happiness to Francesca, his real name of the woman became pregnant after the exchange of embryos, December 4, Pertini hospital. The reason for his joy is simple, because the Italian law is unequivocal: Subscriptions to the twins – a boy and a girl – with the last name of her husband Paul states in all respects their “filial status.”
The birth, which took place just a few days ago, is therefore a plot twist that, inevitably, has frustrated the hearing this morning, in court, in front of a civil judge Silvia Albano. The meeting was called by the couple biological, assisted by Advocate Nicolò Paoletti, claiming the status of ‘real parents, because they are our genes and the twins look like in everything and for everything to us. ”
The biological parents had therefore made an urgent appeal to distrust the officers of civil status record anagrafe children.
But nature has run its course and the twins were born a few days in advance of the due date around the 12th of August. Birth, by Caesarean section, took place far from Rome, in another region, where Paolo and Francesca will be a few more weeks to enjoy their children, away from the media pressure. “We need peace. We have already suffered a lot in recent months, for us it’s finally time to be a family. ”
A moment so sweet, however, does not prevent them from expressing sorrow for the other pair. “We are aware of their suffering and this makes us bad, but we had been willing to meet them. There is an email that demonstrates how we had asked to know the reason for the meeting, and instead we were not even answered. ”
On the one hand the reasons for Paolo and Francesca, assisted by Advocate Michael Ambrosini, other than those of the pair of biological parents. On one hand, a dream come true, the other a desire that breaks and turns into a nightmare that knows no bounds.
The first time are all taken from cribs and baby bottles. Their only desire is to pamper and cherish as much as possible the two beloved twins. The rest have never hidden their beliefs. “The relationship that my wife and children through the umbilical cord is critical – had repeatedly declared Paul -. And my presence at his side in such a delicate phase can not be neglected. Just consult the scientific volumes of epigenetics, which is the adaptation of DNA to environmental influences. ”
But next to this family for which days to have opened the gates of heaven, there is another one from this morning is likely to sink deeper into despair. The confidence in any order of the civil court in their favor, now falters. Expectations were others, as evidenced by the substance of their urgent appeal with which they had asked ‘attention on all the information about the state of health of the unborn as well as where and when will the birth so that the applicants can form birth certificate indicating in as parents. ”
It is not enough, also suggested the court to “be wary all the officers of civil status with the municipal authorities of the Republic by the form the birth of the twins in contrast to the genetic truth.”
It is now too late. The twins are regular Italian citizens, children of a couple legally married. This does not mean, of course, that we are facing a dramatic and controversial case, unique in the world. A human and legal person who has provoked much discussion in recent months. Jurists, psychological, geneticists: many have discussed the theme to try to settle a very delicate and thorny.
From the words needed to tell it. First of all, “belong.” The main question is in fact always been: Who owns the children? The couple that genetic or pregnant? But children are not objects and do not belong to anyone. The term, however, as brutal helps to disentangle in a story in itself complex and upsetting.
For the law, unless an intervention of the Constitutional Court, the twins belong therefore to the pregnant couple. But the National Bioethics Committee, in addition to several psychiatrists, suggested a collaboration between the two pairs.
The families involved, it is the desire of the CBN, “are able to access the dimension of responsibility towards born, even with the legal guarantee of non-exclusion (such as rights of access)” and recognize the right of those born to “know their origins (mode of conception and gestation), through appropriate advice and support.”
And we must not neglect the economic aspect: both pairs now that the twins were born, the hospital will demand compensation Pertini a millionaire.
