[MAR: current and future practices with the review of the law on bioethics]

Medically assisted reproduction techniques are aimed at heterosexual couples, when both members are living, of reproductive age, consenting to acts of insemination or the transfer of embryos and presenting medically diagnosed infertility. The review of the law on bioethics could offer new perspectives for reproduction notably by allowing access to medically assisted reproduction (MAR) to all women, elective egg freezing, the lifting of gamete donor anonymity and the authorisation of post-mortem MAR.

[Legal provisions regarding donation and removal of organs and tissues]

The activity of human organs and tissues donation and procurement for transplantation is governed by bioethics laws. The scope of application covers the entire activity: from the national organisation to the practice procurement. They are based on general principles founded on human dignity, protecting donors and recipients.

[Bioethics, science and conscience]

Both object of science and conscience, bioethics is concerned about the impact of biomedical research and its applications for the human person. Object of pluralistic and multidisciplinary thought and proposal, bioethics seeks to reconcile respect for fundamental values and progress in life sciences.
