Lo scopo di questo saggio non è quello di presentare la dottrina della Chiesa Cattolica sulla procreazione medicalmente assistita, ma di fornire alcuni concetti chiave per la corretta interpretazione delle Istruzione Donum Vitae del 1987. Tra i concetti presentati, vanno sottolineati, sul piano morale, i termini "artificiale", "razionalità" e "dignità", includendo anche la distinzione tra "assistenza" e "sostituzione" per quanto riguarda la funzione procreativa. Condizioni indispensabili per una procreazione medicalmente assistita eticamente corretta sarebbero la salvaguardia del nesso causale della unione coniugale e il riconoscimento della donna come luogo esclusivo degno del concepimento di un nuovo essere umano.
----------
The purpose of this essay is not to present an exposition of the teaching of the Catholic Church on the procedure for medically assisted procreation, but to provide some key concepts for the correct interpretation of the statements principally contained in the Instruction Donum Vitae published in 1987. Among the concepts presented, we should wish to underline, on moral grounds, the terms "artificial", "rationality" and "dignity" also including the distinction between "assistance" and "substitution" as regards the procreative function. Indispensible conditions for an ethically correct medically assisted procreation would be the safeguarding of the causal role of conjugal union and the recognition of the woman as the exclusive place worthy of the conception of a new human being.
