title: [Embryo and stem cells researches: before and after the bioethics law of 2011].
abstract: The bioethics law of 2004 prohibited any research on the human embryo but authorized by way of derogation this one. The French biomedicine agency was charged to take care of the scientific, legal respect and ethics of this research, via its council of orientation. In 5 years it took more than 100 decisions on this subject. Although the discussions for the revision were important these last years, the new law of bioethics of July 7th, 2011 does not change anything with regard to research on the embryo and the stem cells.
