In France, the legislator has planned to organize at regular intervals the Estates General of Bioethics (EGB), an opportunity to inform and question the French people on the subject, and the first step (enshrined in the law) of the regular revision of so-called bioethics laws. The spring 2018 edition is proposed under the heading: "What world do we want for tomorrow?" and schedules a revision of the bioethical laws by the end of 2018. It is organized by the National Consultative Ethics Committee for Health and Life Sciences in connection with all eighteen spaces for regional or interregional ethical reflection (ERER). This contribution reviews the history of bioethical debates and legislation in France, then examines the modalities and themes of the current debate, which is still in progress at the time of writing, before concluding with a somewhat distanced reflection on the complexity of the bioethical debate and the importance of not forgetting its so-called global perspective.
