Abstract
A case of congenital rubella syndrome has been the reason to seek damages but a Civil Court of Rome sentenced against this and in
favor of sued doctors. We discussed the high level of social attention and the feeling present in our western culture behind the
request for damages. Legal considerations above the Italian abortion Law is provided to understand the framework of the court
decision. Ethical, medical, and public health issues are commented and compared with the Perruche’s case.
