Il moderno diritto al figlio: riflessioni biogiuridiche a partire dal Giudizio delle due madri di Re Salomone

Maternity is nowadays invested by possibilities of medical and technological control and management, which are transforming modalities and timing of procreation. For this reason it is characterised by new and controversial juridical situations, which ask for a pre-comprehension of ethical, cultural and philosophical dimensions that are assailing maternity. Starting from these considerations, this contribution aims to propose some philosophical and juridical considerations on the ambivalence of maternity, which is so well expressed in such a modern and actual way by the biblical tale on King Salomon’s judgement towards the two mothers.
