Thus it is known in the world Severino Antinori, the gynecologist arrested May 13 in Rome on charges of having taken ovules to a 24 year old against his will. “President of the World Association of Reproductive Medicine, Warm”, as pointed out in the biography published on the website of his Milanese clinic over impounded, over the years has done a lot to talk about himself.

His proclamations, however, also touched the field of human cloning: in 2002, he announced to have used to induce pregnancy in three women. An announcement but will remain so, since the birth of the first child, due in January 2003, did not know anything.

After announcing the “first pregnancy achieved by heterologous in Italy”, Lorenzin, in the absence of guidelines, sent the Matris Nas to Milan, which squestrarono embryos. Antinori at that time proclaimed a hunger strike to the bitter end: “let me die.” The case is closed succinctly: “No evidence that the Matris there have been pregnancies from heterologous”, sentenziarono Nas.
