On first reading, the government found it “offensive” to challenge the “psychological contract” established with previous donors.
Against the advice of the government, the National Assembly voted on Thursday for children born with gamete donation before the draft law, bioethics can also benefit from the new device to access the origin proposed in this text.

When the vote was very close, forcing the chairman of the meeting to count the votes several times, the MPs rejected the government’s amendment, after a split within the majority. Discussed in the second reading, the draft law stipulates that children born through donation can access their majority “non-identifying data” (age, physical characteristics, etc.) about the donor and, if they wish, his identity, but only from the date of entry into force of the law.

“moral contract”
The Senate voted in the first reading to make the measure retroactive, which is already against the advice of the government, which thought it was “shocking” to challenge the “moral contract” with previous donors, before this new law. The executive therefore wanted to return this change to the Assembly. But the representatives kept the version in the Senate.
He even opposed the government amendment, co-rapporteur Coralie Dubost (LREM) thought it was “very delicate” not to create a right “for the future”, in “depriving all those who can have that right already today.” She begged for answers “from the case as the case may be,” if previous donors, who are “opting in,” have agreed to transfer non-identifiable information.
“It is important to return to the balance of the first reading,” tried to assert his colleague, “walker” Thomas Mesnier, pointing out the practical difficulties of re-contacting former gamete donors.
“conflict”
The Assembly adopted another measure, contrary to the Government’s opinion, to allow parents who wish to have access to aggregated and non-identifying data of donors before the majority of their children. MoDem Geraldine Bannier expressed her desire to help parents explain to their child how it was designed. Several lawmakers supported it, including Rebel Carolina Fiat.

Secretary of State Adrien Cleat argued in vain for the right to see his parentage, which is strictly linked to the child. He mentioned the possibility of a “conflict situation” in the family, where the child does not want his parents to have information that he does not have access to before the age of 18.

A little later, Adrien Cleat assured that “we could omit this provision, the parliamentary shuttle is still long”. The government reserves the possibility to propose a second consideration at the end of the consideration of the text, in order to try to return to these two measures.
