title: [MEDICALLY ASSISTED PROCREATION AND HOMOSEXUAL COUPLES].
abstract: With the legalization of the same-sex marriage in France, the medically assisted procreation has returned to the heart of discussions relating to the family. So far, the French legislator has strictly limited access to such medical techniques to sterile heterosexual couples only. Thus, the possibility of giving birth is denied to people who are in a "social" sterility position, such as singles or gays. Is such decision still ethically and socially acceptable? Should the French Legislator on the contrary widen access to the MPA? The debate is revived and raises important ans interesting questions that this article intends to address.
