“Davvero non potrei nascere?”: PMA per tutte riparte con una maxi affissione al centro di Roma
Protagonista Maria Giulia d’Amico, che oggi non potrebbe essere concepita in Italia. L’Associazione Luca Coscioni chiede accesso alla PMA anche a donne singole e coppie dello stesso sesso.
Con una maxi affissione davanti ai Musei Vaticani e la raccolta di firme in corso per una petizione al Parlamento, l’Associazione Luca Coscioni rilancia la campagna “PMA per tutte” con un obiettivo chiaro: eliminare le discriminazioni ancora presenti nella legge 40 del 2004 e garantire pari accesso alla procreazione medicalmente assistita (PMA) anche a donne singole e coppie dello stesso sesso.
L’affissione, visibile fino al 18 settembre in Piazza Risorgimento, angolo via Ottaviano 9 (Roma), ha come protagonista Maria Giulia, 31enne romana, nata nel 1994 da una madre single che all’epoca ha potuto ricorrere in Italia alla PMA. Oggi, con l’attuale divieto, quella stessa possibilità le sarebbe negata: “Davvero oggi non potrei nascere?” è la domanda che campeggia accanto al suo volto.
Maria Giulia fa parte del gruppo “PMA per tutte”, formato da circa 30 donne, nato all’interno dell’Associazione Coscioni per promuovere iniziative sul tema. Tra loro c’è anche Evita, 40enne di Torino, che aveva ricevuto un diniego per accedere alla PMA in Toscana. Il suo caso è arrivato in Corte costituzionale, che ha confermato che il legislatore può estendere l’accesso alla PMA anche a nuclei familiari diversi da quelli previsti, come le famiglie monoparentali.
L’obiettivo della campagna è portare il tema direttamente in Parlamento: per questo l’Associazione sta raccogliendo firme per una petizione che chiede la modifica dell’articolo 5 della legge 40 sulla fecondazione assistita, superando il divieto che costringe ogni anno migliaia di persone ad andare all’estero per realizzare il proprio progetto di famiglia, in base alle proprie possibilità economiche.
Negli ultimi anni, diversi divieti della legge 40 sono stati cancellati dai tribunali. Rimane però quello che nega l’accesso alla PMA a donne singole e coppie dello stesso sesso, nonostante la Corte costituzionale abbia riconosciuto che non vi siano impedimenti costituzionali a una sua estensione. Il 18 settembre, l’Associazione Luca Coscioni depositerà in Senato le firme raccolte a sostegno della petizione.
Filomena Gallo e Francesca Re commentano: “Basta discriminazioni, il Parlamento intervenga”. Gallo e Re, avvocate, rispettivamente Segretaria e Consigliera Generale dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni, dichiarano congiuntamente: “Dal 2004 a oggi numerosi divieti della legge 40 sulla procreazione medicalmente assistita sono stati rimossi grazie ai tribunali. Rimane però il divieto di accesso alla PMA per le donne singole e per le coppie dello stesso sesso, un divieto che continua a produrre gravi discriminazioni. Ogni anno, infatti, migliaia di persone sono costrette a recarsi all’estero per realizzare il proprio progetto di famiglia grazie alla PMA, mentre in Italia questa possibilità rimane ingiustamente negata. Il legislatore ha oggi la responsabilità di intervenire per rimuovere tale ostacolo e per garantire pari accesso a chiunque ne abbia bisogno, come già chiedono il Parlamento europeo e il Comitato ONU per i diritti sociali”.
FIRMA LA PETIZIONE

After taking last week off, I'm really hitting the floor running today.
The last time I shipped to the US, I could just pay Royal Mail a fixed fee based on weight and size and they sent it.
Then last week they wouldn't ship to the US at all.
Now they do ship to the US again. But they charge a hell of a lot more based on value.
Suffice to say that I am losing money on those orders which came in a week ago. Sigh.

Worlds Largest Neutrino Detector Is Collecting Data In China
To say that neutrinos aren’t the easiest particles to study would be a bit of an understatement. Outside of dark matter, there’s not much in particle physics that is as slippery as the elusive “ghost particles” that are endlessly streaming through you and everything you own. That’s why its exciting news that JUNO is now taking data as the world’s largest detector.
First, in case you’re not a physics geek, let’s go back to basics. Neutrinos are neutral particles (the name was coined by Fermi as “little neutral one”) with very, very little mass and a propensity for slipping in between the more-common particles that make up everyday matter. The fact that neutrinos have mass is kind of weird, in that it’s not part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Since the Standard Model gets just about everything else right (except for dark matter) down to quite a few decimal points, well… that’s a very interesting kind of weird, hence the worldwide race to unravel the mysteries of the so-called “ghost particle”. We have an explainer article here for anyone who wants more background.
The JUNO vessel from inside the (then empty) water jacket. Note the outwards-facing PMTs.
With JUNO, China is likely to take the lead in that race. JUNO stands for Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, and if you fancy a trip to southern China you can find it 700 metres under Guangdong. With 20,000 tonnes of liquid scintillator (a chemical that lights up when excited by a subatomic particle) and 43,200 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to catch every photon the scintillator gives off, it is the largest of its type in the world.
The liquid scintillator — linear alkyl benzene, for the chemists — is housed within an acrylic sphere surrounded by PMTs, suspended within an extra sixty thousand tonnes of ultra-pure water for radiation shielding. The arrangement is similar to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, but much larger. More PMTs point outwards to monitor this water jacket to serve as coincidence detectors for things like muons. With all of those PMTs, we can only hope everyone has learned from Super-K, and they don’t all blow up this time.
Assuming no catastrophic failure, JUNO will have great sensitivity in particular to antineutrinos, and will be used not just for astroparticle physics but as part of a beam experiment to study neutrino oscillations from neutrinos emitted by nearby nuclear reactors. (Virtually all nuclear reactions, from fusion to fission to beta decay, involve neutrino emission.) Neutrino oscillation refers to the strange ability neutrinos have to oscillate between their three different ‘flavours’ something related to their anomalous mass.In this schematic diagram of a neutrino detection, PMTs around the detector are coloured according to the photons detected. The neutrino’s path has been recreated as a green line.
While JUNO is the biggest in the world, it won’t be forever. If everything goes according to plan, Japan will take the crown back when HyperKamiokande comes online inside its 258,000 tonne water vessel in 2028. Of course the great thing about scientific competition is that it doesn’t matter who is on top: with openly published results, we all win.
