Research
My thesis focuses on French donor-conceived families (sperm donation, oocyte donation, surrogacy) during the pre-conception period, pregnancy and the first months of the child's life. Thanks to a vast qualitative study conducted among infertility and obstetrics professionals in Belgium and France, and more than 80 French couples who have used a donation mostly abroad, this study aims to understand how the norms of third-party donor parenthood are gradually being instituted, both in terms of professional practices and kinship. A comparative study of the legal framework of Belgian and French family law from a sociological perspective, as well as the bioethical frameworks of these two countries completes the empirical analysis of this research.
