Despite the protests, the French National Assembly adopted the "law of bioethics". The vote took place at night, at 03:35, on the night of 1 August, in the presence of 101 deputies out of a total of 577.
The whole law is terrible.
"This law is neither bio nor ethical" - La manif pour tous
"The purpose of bioethics is to approve of what ethics rejects." - Olivier Rey, philosopher
Important points in the law:
- “PMA for all”.
Lesbians will be able to have children using gametes (sex cells) from donations, so the children have two mothers and no father. (PMA - “Medically Assisted Procreation”, in Romanian “Medically Assisted Human Reproduction”)
- parentage
Filiation rules are introduced that try to solve the problems opened by “PMA pour toutes”; for example, a distinction is made between “mère gestatrice” and “mère d’intention”
- “chimeric embryos”
It opens the way for research in the field of "chimeric embryos", ie crossbreeding between humans and animals! The pretext is to obtain organs that could be used for human transplants.
- abortion
Abortion is authorized until the term of birth, in case of "psychosocial danger", a vague concept, not legally defined.
