    Understanding social oocyte freezing in Italy: a scoping survey on university female students’ awareness and attitudes.Luciana Caenazzo, Gloria Spigarolo, Patrizia Nespeca, Antonio Fassina & Pamela Tozzo - 2019 - Life Sciences, Society and Policy 15 (1):1-14.
    In Western countries, a social trend toward delaying childbearing has been observed in women of reproductive age for the last two decades. This delay is due to different factors related to lifestyle, such as the development of a professional career or the absence of the right partner. As a consequence, women who defer childbearing may find themselves affected by age-related infertility when they decide to conceive. Fertility preservation techniques are, therefore, proposed as a solution for these women. Among all possible (...)

    Hospitalized hunger-striking prisoners: the role of ethics consultations.Luciana Caenazzo, Pamela Tozzo & Daniele Rodriguez - 2016 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 19 (4):623-628.
    We refer to hospitalized convicted hunger strikers in Padua Hospital who decided to fast for specific reasons, often demanding, to be heard by the judge, to complain about the existing custodial situation or to claim unjust treatment. The medical ethics of hunger strikers are debated because the use of force feeding by physicians is widely condemned as unethical, but courts, in Italy, sometimes order to transfer the convicted person to hospital and oblige healthcare practitioners to perform forcible feeding. This can (...)

    Allen Buchanan: Better than human: the promise and perils of enhancing ourselves: Oxford University Press, New York, 2011, 208 pp, $21.95 , ISBN: 9780199797875.Pamela Tozzo - 2014 - Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 35 (3):247-248.
    The topic of enhancement has become a booming sector in ethics in the last decade, and with this broad and detailed overview of arguments in favor and against biomedical enhancement, Allen Buchanan provides an authoritative and detailed insight into the central issues of this topic.As defined by Buchanan in the first chapter of this book, “a biomedical enhancement uses biotechnology to cause an improvement of an existing capacity by acting directly on the body (including the brain)” (p. 5). It is (...)

    Biobanks for non-clinical purposes and the new law on forensic biobanks: does the Italian context protect the rights of minors?Pamela Tozzo, Renzo Pegoraro & Luciana Caenazzo - 2010 - Journal of Medical Ethics 36 (12):775-778.
    Biobanks are an important resource for medical research. Genetic research on biological material from minors can yield valuable information that can improve our understanding of genetic–environmental interactions and the genesis and development of early onset genetic disorders. The major ethical concerns relating to biobanks concern consent, privacy, confidentiality, commercialisation, and the right to know or not to know. However, research on paediatric data raises specific governance and ethical questions with regard to consent and privacy. We have considered the Italian normative (...)
