Esiste in Italia un diritto al figlio sano? (Riflessioni a margine della causa Costa et Pavan vs Italia)

The author, starting from the case Costa et Pavan vs Italy decided by the European Court of Human Rights, poses the question about the existence in Italy of the right to a healthy son. In the light of the data both legislative and jurisprudential, she concludes to deny the existence of such a right in italian law and casts doubt on the power of the Strasbourg Court to take basic policy decisions on "new rights", for which there are no specific constitutional requirements and there is a tragic conflict about them within society and societies.
