Quel rôle pour le Comité consultatif national d'éthique au sein de la cité ?

The National Consultative Ethics Committee has been at the center of social debate in France over the past year. This social visibility is probably unprecedented since the birth of CCNE thirty years ago. It is largely due to the fact that the representatives of the public authorities have entrusted the responsibility, direct or indirect, to decide on subjects with high media impact as the end of life, expanding the list of blood donors to homosexual persons and especially access to assisted reproduction for lesbian women. This solicitation has been a source of controversy at the time of renewal of the composition of the assembly. The weight given to CCNE in policymaking draws attention to the political profile of members to serve in it.
