[MEDICALLY ASSISTED PROCREATION AND HOMOSEXUAL COUPLES]
Abstract:
With the legalization of the same-sex marriage in France, the medically assisted procreation has returned to the heart of discussions relating to the family. So far, the French legislator has strictly limited access to such medical techniques to sterile heterosexual couples only.
