| description | In France, as in many other countries, the activities of assisted reproductive technology (ART) centers were interrupted with the occurrence of the COVID-19 health crisis in March 2020. Various national institutions governing these medical activities, such as the Biomedicine agency in France, have recommended that ART centers stop all services. Following the slow restart of their activities in May 2020, the delays for treatment were prolonged, and it was difficult for the professionals to respond to all the requests within a short timeframe. While some people were able to resume their ART course safely at the end of the first lockdown, others had their medical appointments scheduled and then deprogrammed several times without ever being able to start their ART procedure. Some of those interviewed were still waiting almost a year after the start of the health crisis. While the procreative paths of these couples are already tinged with uncertainty due to their infertility, the parental horizons of the people interviewed have become darker during the health crisis. The latter has resulted in increased uncertainty and a prolongation of the ART process, undermining the temporality of the parental project. The analysis of the interviews shows how, within the framework of these disrupted temporalities, the perception of risk evolves and leads to a hierarchy of priorities: from the pandemic risk to the risk of not being able to procreate, from the health priority to the parental project priority. |
