The French Catholic bishops have expressed regret at the approval of new legislation on bioethics, pointing particularly to new approval for assisted human reproduction. Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort of Reims, president of the episcopal conference, said that the law represents “the victory of an ideological will,” and “a logic that makes the dignity of the human being a relative value.” He added that “the law may tell us what is legal, but cannot tell us what is good.”
