A four-part abrogative referendum on fertility laws was held in Italy on 12 June 2005. Voters were asked whether research and access to the research on embryos should be limited, whether embryos should be legally recognised as people and whether IVF treatment should be limited to three embryos. The referendum was called after the Italian Radicals collected the 500,000 signatures required. Although all four proposals were approved by wide margins, the voter turnout of 26% was well below the 50% threshold and the results were invalidated. Pope Benedict XVI had called for a boycott.

  • Les Italiens sont appelés à se prononcer par référendum le 12 juin 2005 sur l'abrogation de quatre articles d'une loi adoptée par le Parlement en février 2004. Par le moyen de cette consultation d'initiative populaire, les électeurs ont la possibilité de l'assouplir sur ses points les plus contestés. Ils doivent répondre par oui ou par non à quatre questions. 1. * Faut-il retirer du texte les références à l'embryon en tant qu'être humain à part entière ? 2. * Doit-on supprimer la limitation à trois du nombre d'embryons créés et aussitôt implantés sans possibilité de diagnostic préalable ? 3. * Faut-il annuler les limitations à la recherche sur les embryons ? 4. * Faut-il revenir sur l'interdiction de recourir à un donneur extérieur ?
