Intervention of Catherine Paley-Vincent at the Symposium Bioethics law of August 2, 2021: what impact on our lives?, organized by the National Academy of Medicine, the Law & Health Institute, and the Ethics & Cancer Committee on October 20
"To know or not to know. To be or not to be."
Fundamental questions which we know can impact a lifetime and generate real suffering.
Guided by societal developments and examples abroad, thethe bioethics law of August 02, 2021 brings a radically opposite answer to those which preceded it. If it maintains the anonymity of the donation of gametes or the proposal to host an embryo, between donors and recipients, it establishes the right of the child, born of an AMP and come of age, to know the identity of those who allowed his birth.
Knowledge of non-identifying data comes out of the therapeutic necessity apprehended by the physician alone. It will also be available to the adult child who requests it.
The revelation of the gift therefore comes out of the secret. The ground swell was announced. It is surging today.
Will it eliminate the will to give at a time when the shortage of donations would render the advances of the law ineffective?
Will it bring the desired appeasement to the child?
