La maternità surrogata alla prova dell’utilitarismo e della teoria della giustizia

DI IVAN VALIA

ABSTRACT – Surrogacy, like other bioethical issues, hardly seems able to offer definitive proposals, especially considering the plurality of practical and moral profiles involved. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to evaluate the ethical sustainability of this practice in the context of two specific theories of philosophical debate: Utilitarianism, in Jeremy Bentham’s version, and John Rawls’s Theory of Justice. Through the breakdown into four distinct hypotheses, identified on the basis of their different degree of complexity, we will try to obtain more accurate moral outcomes compared to those we would get adopting a generalist method.

KEYWORDS – Surrogacy, Utilitarianism, Theory of justice, Ethical sustainability, Desire for parenthood.
