Résumé anglais Philippe Lucas, The rights to life. Biology, ethics and law The progress of biological and medical science, the expectations which they legitimate, in so far as they legitimate them, give rise to rights, a mixture of rights (the right to a child and the rights of the child, the right to dispose of one's body which is, however, not appropriable, etc.) which are not regulated by Law. While the moral authorities, the spiritual and professional communities, and the Sate are seeking a legitimacy which would enable them to speak of ethics, a new and immanent form of secularity is developing : that of the accomplices and the confederates, rather than that of citizens.
