"Even if the law is completely perfectible"
First mentioned under François Hollande, the bill was then one of the campaign promises of candidate Emmanuel Macron in 2017. The legislative course of the text began in the fall of 2019, after the general states of bioethics.
It was then slowed down by the Covid-19, then by the Senate which ended up rejecting the PMA.
Nicolas Faget says he is relieved "especially for our families who, each time, are insulted".
"We deny their existence, we deny the fact that the children are well. We are called all names, we are accused of all the wrongs vis-à-vis children. Fortunately, all this will be able to stop thanks to this law. . Finally it is voted! Even if the law is completely perfectible, it is a step forward towards the total equality with the other families ", he developed.
The application texts were prepared so "that the first children can be conceived before the end of the year 2021", promised the Minister of Health Olivier Véran. But an appeal to the Constitutional Council of LR and UDI deputies could however delay the promulgation of the law by a few weeks.
