L'articolo esamina i punti critici della pratica della surrogazione di maternità. Esaminando diverse sentenze dello scenario internazionale e nazionale vengono messi in rilievo i problemi etici e giuridici che precedono e seguono la surrogazione di maternità. Viene posta attenzione alla configurabilità etica e giuridica del cosiddetto "diritto al figlio". Il contributo analizza anche i problemi della compravendita e della donazione dei gameti e degli embrioni. L'insieme delle riflessioni si conclude con una critica contro-corrente dell'episodio biblico considerato un caso di maternità surrogata, cioè quello di Sara e Agar.

The article examines the critical issues concerning the practice of surrogate motherhood. By examining a number of rulings of international and national scenario the ethical and legal issues that precede and follow the surrogacy are highlighted. Attention is paid to the ethical and juridical configurability of the so-called "right to the son". The contribution analyzes the problems of the sale and donation of gametes and embryos. The collection of the reflections ends with a critique against the current biblical episode considered a case of surrogacy, i.e. that of Sara and Hagar.
