Chapter 11. The impossible status of the embryo or the state withdrawal to the profit of vested interests

Abstract

The hesitations on the legal classification of the embryo lead to the doctrinal realization, that there is a certainty about its status, or, that it hasn’t got any which allows the creator of the standard to reify it.
The access to the claims which are based on specific interests seem to be at the heart of justifications to new legal rules concerning the embryo, even if It seems there are underlying specific interests.
Confronted to the state disengagement in favour of these interests, the embryo, as far as French law is concerned, the embryo falls only under a limited protection which is destined to lose authority.
