About this sermon

Italy’s “Law 40” regulates medically assisted reproduction. The measure, passed in 2004, banned cryopreservation, also known as freezing of eggs, and limited fertilization to no more than three embryos. Over the years, many parts of the law have been altered through the court system. Alessandro Fiore, a lawyer at the Italian pro-life organization, Pro Vita & Famiglia, shared with EWTN News’ Zofia Czubak the adjustments that’ve made been made to the law and the consequences that followed. Plus, Giorgia Brambilla, a professor of bioethics at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, explains why there are significant ethical concerns with freezing eggs. -------- EWTN Pro-Life Weekly with Abigail Galván airs on EWTN every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm ET.
