ABSTRACT
Artificial procreation techniques raise many ethical questions. The National Consultative Ethics Committee has pronounced on two occasions on this subject. Apart from ethical considerations, the rapid development of various techniques has required regulations aimed at ensuring the quality of the medical activities performed. The decree of April 8, 1988 concerning medically assisted procreation limits the practice of these activities to hospitals and medical biology laboratories. These regulations do not apply to fundamental questions which fall in the realm of legislation. A bill has already been drafted; if it passes it might provide a few guiding marks on this subject for practitioners and for society as a whole.
