FRANCE-RIGHTS-CHILDREN-FERTILITY

A personnel (unseen) of the laboratory of reproductive biology CECOS, the medically assisted procreation (PMA) unit of Tenon Hospital (Hopital Tenon AP - HP), performs intra cytoplasmic sperm injection process (ICSI) in Paris on September 24, 2019. - The French parliament debated a draft law on September 24 to extend fertility treatment to lesbian and single women, a move set to spark bitter opposition from conservatives and street protests next month. Under current French law, only heterosexual couples have the right to use medically assisted procreation methods such as in vitro fertilisation, commonly known as IVF. Lesbians and single women who want to have children often travel to fertility clinics abroad for treatment, a situation they say is discriminatory.
