Chapitre 18. Loi relative à la bioéthique 2021 : de quelques interrogations dans la pratique des équipes médicales.

The law on bioethics of 2 August 2021 introduced a number of innovations that have raised many questions for professionals. For the medical teams at assisted reproduction centres, the disappearance of the notion of medical indication represents a real paradigm shift. Should there be limits on access to MAP methods? The legal texts set certain limits. Are these limits related to human physiology, to the benefit-risk ratio or to social or medico-economic considerations? We will discuss the issues of the age at which a person can benefit from PGM, self-preservation of gametes for his or her own benefit, access to the donor’s identity and special interviews with the multidisciplinary team. Finally, the need for clear, objective information will be emphasised, especially as article 4 of the law provides for a public health plan: prevention/public education, information/female and male fertility, which to date has not been mentioned.
