Résumé
--
We would all like our love relationships to be fruitful, but sometimes they remain sterile. The blue skies suddenly darken, spoiling the couple's happiness that seemed so utterly perfect. Today, medicine can give hope to sterile couples thanks to what we generally term medically assisted procreation (MAP). Although they are relatively successful, the new techniques are the target of criticism, often ethical in nature. They are accused of being violent, of forcing the body, going against nature and remodelling the usual parent-child rapports. Sometimes the criticism, which is in some ways pertinent, is expressed in such extreme terms that it becomes simply unfair. The accusation of injustice is not too strong when critics ignore the distress of infertile couples and medicine's ability to relieve it. But although we may acknowledge the unfairness of certain critics, it does not justify giving MAP a free hand. Extremely dependent on techno-scientific progress, procreative medicine is moving ahead at such a pace that nothing seems able to stop it - unless it is the suffering of those very patients whose distress it is supposed to ease, but could, by going too far, increase. To avoid such extremes, the author provides a few elements on which to construct a new love ethic. For practitioners of MAP and their present or future patients.
