"Absence of father", "commodification" ... They are opposed to the PMA for all women and will protest against this flagship measure of the bill bioethics, adopted at first reading by the National Assembly in late September. Here are four testimonials:

Marie Aladame, 45 years old:

"For me, the PMA for heterosexual couples already raises questions, especially the subject of research on the embryo ... And open the PMA to couples of women or single women, it will amplify the issue, because it will have more gametes.

On the other hand, if suffering can be heard, it can not be said that the PMA for female couples is linked to infertility. It's linked to a lifestyle choice. It's just because you can not have children when you're two women, that's it. And do not lie to children about that. We can not tell them + you were born by two women +. It's a terrible lie.

As for the LDC for single women, the government has shown that single-parent households are the most difficult. These homes are vulnerable, and we will say to single women: + it does not matter have a child you'll see it's very easy +?

Mickael Fernandes, 27 years old:

This socialist militant of Roubaix had demonstrated in 2013 for the marriage for all.

"I fully understand that homosexual couples want to have a child, it's totally legitimate, but at no time do we think about the best interests of the child." It is assumed that parents want a child, so we act this wish and we do everything to make this wish legally possible.

But I do not believe in the argument that paternal presence is not very important.

The second point is the commodification, which for me will be done. We know very well that there are fewer and fewer donors, and we are going to sell semen.

Thirdly, during the marriage for all, we heard + if we open the marriage, tomorrow it will be the PMA +. I do not believe it. And here, I wonder, if tomorrow we have the PMA, the next president we will have the GPA?

I am a Christian, a practitioner, and at one point you have to be consistent. Maybe there will be homophobes next to me, maybe there will be the Manif for all. But we will go with our badges, assume to be left cathos.

Arnaud Pinte, 53 years old

"It is frankly difficult for me to endorse a law that organizes the deprivation of a father for a child, that there are accidents that make a father go away, it happens.

But to have a law which allows itself to say + I will conceive children without father +, it is not to give them all their chances. I think that PMA without a father is really a handicap for the child before being a chance for society, as Agnès Buzyn said.

I participated in debates, in the framework of the Estates General of Bioethics, and also in that of the great national debate. I had no sense of being neither listened to, nor heard.

And I do not even mention parliamentary hearings where objections have not been taken into account. Passing a law in three weeks on topics that concern the French, without having listened to them .... Why does not Mr. Macron do a referendum?

Jean Helou, 25 years old

"I believe that this law has a stake in the very definition of medicine and the vocation that can be given to it.The ambition of medicine has always been to repair, to cure pathologies, disabilities due to accidents of life.

It is also a battle for equality since there will be children who from birth will be de facto deprived of father. Families, even single parents, have roots anyway. There, we will have children who do not have any anymore.

In addition, if women's couples have access to PMA, it seems legitimate for male couples to have the same technical means. So, in fact, the GPA will come to it.
