CCNE Opinion 138 "Eugenics, what are we talking about?"


The term "eugenics" came up repeatedly in public debates during the revision of the French bioethics law. The use of certain techniques in medically assisted procreation was discussed. "What is eugenics?" asks the CCNE in its new opinion, which examines the meaning of this word not only in the current state of technology and its applications, but also in what we must envisage as the medicine of the future.
