Tribune published on lemonde.fr Monday, December 13, 2010, signed by 60 elected officials, experts, activists. Each victory away by France against his own conservatism is the result of a confrontation. When it comes to note the evolution of our society, the freedoms to conquer are always preceded by misunderstandings, anxieties and threatening prophecies. It stubbornly repeating things that the French and more French women have dispelled the doubts and won the right to divorce and the right to freely dispose of their bodies, despite all the messengers of the Apocalypse that s 'against.
There is a half-century, they imposed expectant parents the birth of unwanted children. Today, through the prohibitions listed in the bioethics law, it prohibits parents the birth of children desired. The distance between our ancestral right to the realities of our families did continued to expand.
Multiplicity and plasticity of family models can not be ignored any longer. Sociology, psychoanalysis and law, long time ago that social ties take precedence over biological ties. Kinship and descent are not natural, they are links established. These are not genetic links but the manifestation of the will of parenting, irrevocable, and the reality of family life that make a person a parent. This is not the fact of carrying a child that makes a woman the mother of this child, but the fact to want to commit to raise and prepare.
For thirty years that medical technology will enable women to carry the child of another. Twenty years ago, alarmed by the excesses that could affect the practice in the absence of any law, the judge and then the French legislature chose to put an end to the practice itself, rather than lack of supervision . Thus any surrogacy is prohibited under French law since 1991.
since children are born with gestations for others in several advanced democracies. Women's rights and interests of children are protected. Their evidence invalidates the justification that the lawyers will seek prohibition where no framework is proposed by law. Rejecting a frame surrogacy using the example of the excesses known in countries that surround not Surrogacy: this artifice which lend themselves supporters of the status quo.
Yes, without supervision, the company may drift to the instrumentalization of women, a commodification of their bodies, a commodification of the child. Without supervision, the rights of all those whose bodies can be a source of profit are in danger. That is why we propose to set the framework that will enable women to carry a child for other parents without having their rights threatened.
Developing such a framework requires, as any development of new rules, the opening of a debate, the use of a common vocabulary and listening to opposing arguments. The general state of bioethics organized by the government in 2009, did not debate.
Gestation for others will be genuine altruistic practice if it is framed. That means establishing criteria psychological, physical and social goals and not discriminatory to allow a woman to carry a child for other parents. To avoid any kind of drift, we propose not to allow women without children to carry a child for others to limit the number of pregnancies per woman for others, and to set an age limit. We do not propose to allow a mother to carry a child for one of its descendants. We exclude all financial relationships between parents and the woman who bears their child. That the judge to assess marital status of the child and to establish conditions of pregnancy, respecting the freedom of women to take at any time all decisions regarding its body. It is the company to take over the cost of pregnancy, as in the case of maternity leave.
In the XXIst century, founding a family is an expression of will, ie the combination of individual freedom and a shared project. The birth of a child resulting from this freedom and this project. Framing Surrogacy is to recognize that this freedom and this project does not stop at biological boundaries. Parents, parents, a surrogate can help, together, the birth of a child. It is up to society to set the framework for the protection of that freedom.
