The bioethics bill, which opens medically assisted procreation (PMA) to all women, returns from Monday to the National Assembly. Reporduction biologist Rachel Lévy sees this bill as a real "revolution" which deserves to take "all the time for debate".

INTERVIEW

The debate is flammable. The bioethics bill returns from Monday before the National Assembly. This is the last text of this summer session, with 2,300 amendments to the program until Friday. The flagship measure of this vast bill is the extension of assisted reproduction to single women and female couples, Emmanuel Macron's campaign promise.

It also includes a reform of filiation, a modification of access to origins for people born thanks to a sperm donation or even the self-preservation of oocytes. "More than an evolution like the previous revisions, this is a revolution that is", says Rachel Levy, professor and head of reproductive biology at Tenon hospital in Paris.
