The LDCS will it be open to all the women ? On this question, the president has chosen not to respond. Instead of deciding in one direction or the other, Emmanuel Macron opened the debate. “On these subjects of society, the policy should not impose a choice “, he declared during his television interview, 15 October.

In an opinion delivered last July, the national consultative ethics Committee (CCNE) has argued in favour of an opening of the medical assistance to procreation.

In the framework of the States general of bioethics, a debate will therefore take place. He wants to ” appeased “. Wishful thinking that it is not certain that it would be fulfilled.

While reiterating its attachment to the respect for “the dignity of the body of the woman,” Emmanuel Macron is firmly opposed to such a measure. And he responds to the anxious, just as firm. “I hope that we may not be able to switch from the LDC to the GPA surreptitiously “, has hammered the head of State.
