the Middle Ages when the prophecy of the experts is belied by the history of irresponsibility

Vittorio Messori

"historic breakthrough" here we go again, with the usual parade of analysis, projections, forecasts. This time it's to China, with the passing of its economy on the Japanese. As usual, multitudes of "experts" we will design their own scenarios for the future of the Middle Empire. But the problem of age is the instinct of veering page, to confront the record of the moment, keeping the peace in futurology. Those who, like me, was in high school and then college tra la fine dei Cinquanta e l’inizio dei Sessanta è vaccinatissimo contro il profetismo degli “esperti“.

Tanto per iniziare con un caso personale: nel 1961 la Torino in cui vivevo raggiungeva il milione di abitanti. Sociologi, demografi, economisti, presi sul serio dai politici, prevedevano con assoluta sicurezza che nel Duemila la città avrebbe superato i due milioni. In quell’anno, la popolazione del Comune era di 865.000 persone. Ma, in quegli anni, in una inchiesta su l’Espresso, Eugenio Scalfari profetizzava che, negli anni Ottanta, l’Unione Sovietica avrebbe superato come ricchezza, benessere personale, libertà stessa America e Europa Occidentale. A Scienze Politiche i docenti, with shining eyes, they spoke of the wonders of decolonization, then in place. Provided, above all, a boom in the African economy and culture "black" would have exploded and we were outclassed. Meanwhile, the most revered among sociologists we published the best seller "eclipse of the sacred in secular society." In the near future, swore, we expect the decline of religion: it would be turned off, or reduced to a niche, and Christianity, and the death edict for Islamism was already pronounced. Faith, this, born to Bedouin in the desert, unable to cope with modernity. There could be no place for it, for its decrepit precepts, in the new member Asian and African born of decolonization.

pill

of Assuntina Morresi

Its mechanism of action is similar to that of the abortion pill RU486, but ELLAONE - referred to as' the pill for five days after "- is registered by the manufacturer as emergency contraception.

In other words, is among those drugs used to prevent pregnancy but only assume that after a sexual relationship in which there was the possibility of conception, even when you can not make a pregnancy test.

In Italy there is already a "morning-after pill ' that works if taken within 72 hours from the moment of fertilization as possible, with ELLAONE, not yet approved in our country, arriving five days of effectiveness. The difference is in the mechanism of action, but in both cases it is possible that an embryo in the presence of the two pills preventing its implantation in the uterus.

The term 'emergency contraception' is a lexical invention of the pharmaceutical market to try to spread surreptitiously drugs that may also have an abortive effect, avoiding the controversy they generate, and at the same time circumventing the laws governing abortion.

The story of RU486 has even learned something: a abortion pill, by itself, is a product that looks good, and that you are unable to associate a positive experience. But above all, the introduction of a drug abortion should always be in compliance with the regulations governing abortion, different from country to country. And even the most favorable to RU486, the French, who wanted to change the national law specifically to encourage the spread of allowing abortion at home, it could only be made after ten years of tenacious efforts of doctors and politicians in the promotion of the pharmacological approach .

To adjust the distribution of contraceptive products, however, there are laws such as those on abortion: the market can absorb them more likely, therefore, often in disregard of public opinion and the political world.

But there is another element that unites all the "emergency contraception", which is important from the educational point of view: the uncertainty. At the time of using these substances, there is no security on the presence of an embryo, and therefore not on its possible elimination. A very early abortion, but uncertain, that escapes even the mildest of controls: the count. No woman who has used an "emergency contraceptive" will never know if you have interrupted a pregnancy in its early hours. Can not count the number of embryos disposed of in this modo: al massimo si può sapere quante pillole sono state vendute, ma quelle effettivamente consumate e gli eventuali aborti possono essere solo 'stimati' in modo approssimativo.

L’aborto è incerto perché lo sono la gravidanza e il consumo stesso del farmaco, ma anche perché altrettanto insicuro è il rapporto che, forse, ha generato quell’embrione: legami sentimentali poco stabili, spesso occasionali, magari del sabato sera.

Sono le pillole dell’incertezza del vivere, quando tutto è precario e al tempo stesso possibile, e non si è più sicuri di niente. Come si può educare una generazione alla responsabilità nei rapporti se non si riesce neppure ad avere la percezione what actually is being done? How can I teach respect for unborn human life, if you do not even know if there is or not? And as you can then judge their acts, if there is also no way of knowing what really happened? If an event is uncertain, even more so the opportunity to evaluate it: it is yet another face of the educational, which marks our time.
