“Hi, it’s Leo, what does it say?”
This Thursday, September 19, and since the August 2021 law on medically assisted procreation (MAP) for all, the demand for gametes (spermatozoa and oocytes) has exploded. In 2022 in France, there were only 764 sperm donors compared to 5,650 people waiting for a donation. To encourage donations, particularly among young people without children under the age of 24, the Biomedicine Agency is embarking on a tour of France.
Is tap water polluted? The investigation unit of Radio France and the France Bleu network reveal their map of France of this contamination with carcinogenic “PFAS”, also called eternal pollutants? 43% of the tap water samples tested are concerned. These chemical molecules accumulate in the body and can have a harmful effect on health.
And then, it“Emilia Perez” will be able to represent France at the Oscars in March 2025. Jacques Audiard’s film was preferred to “The Count of Monte Cristo” and its eight million admissions at the cinema. This musical comedy with an already Hollywood cast tells the story of a drug trafficker who became a trans woman. Now it remains to convince the corporations of the Academy of Oscars.
