Arcom was alerted about the program La maison des Maternelles, shown on France 2 on October 11, 2021, a segment of which was devoted to surrogate motherhood.
She noted that this segment, dedicated to the personal experience of the guest on the occasion of the publication of his book on the subject, could not be considered as a debate requiring the expression of different points of view. It also noted that the host had pointed out that surrogate motherhood is illegal in France.
Consequently, the Authority considered that neither the testimony nor the ensuing discussion constituted a breach by the channel of its ethical obligations.
