On 7th February 2007, the "Agence de la biomédecine" published the results of the first nationwide survey on the French public’s views about bioethics. The public was questioned about artificial reproduction, research on the embryo and human genetics. The aim was to get “a picture of the opinion on subjects covered by the Law on Bioethics.” The Law on Bioethics (as modified by the law of 2004) is due to be reviewed by the French Parliament in 2009.
