The success of the opening of PMA for all does not deflate five months after the introduction of this new right.
More than 7,000 medically assisted procreation projects for single women or not in a relationship with a man have been counted since the end of September, announced Wednesday the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran.
This is "more than double what we had anticipated at the end of the first year of application of the law", he said on the sidelines of the final examination before the National Assembly of a bill to extend the legal duration of abortion.
This measure, voted in the summer of 2021 as part of a major bioethics law, was therefore based on statistics "below reality", underlined the minister.
Olivier Véran hypothesized that “many more women (than we thought) crossed our borders to go and prepare their family project”.
On November 23, the Minister announced that 2,750 women affected by the opening of PMA for all had asked to benefit from it.
However, this expansion raises the question of donations of gametes, spermatozoa and oocytes, which may no longer be sufficient to meet the demand when the delays are already long.
The Biomedicine Agency, the public body that manages PMAs, therefore launched a campaign in October to encourage the donation of sperm and oocytes, in order to fill this gap.
