Marriage is not a right it is a specific contract between two persons of different genetic sex
Obviously marriage is not a right.
If you admit that marriage is a right you should admit that extending its nature from homosexuality to polygamy hurt the couples who contracted or will contract on ancient basis.
This change will have a great consequence: emptying the civil contract of marriage of any interest but economical and incentive heterosexual couples to get religious marriage.

Les CHU moins surs financièrement pour les prêteurs
"C’est la deuxième baisse consécutive en moins d’un an. L’agence de notation financière Moody’s vient de rétrograder la note des émissions obligataires conjointes des CHU français, après une première dégradation prononcée l’été dernier. Une des deux notes est passée de Baa1 à Baa2. L’autre note est passée deA1 à A3, dévalant deux marches d’un coup.
Les CHU se savaient sous surveillance, mais ils disent ne pas avoir vu le coup venir. Jean-Marc Viguier, de la Conférence des DG de CHU, se dit surpris. « Nos résultats financiers s’améliorent tous les ans depuis quatre ans, expose-t-il. Les situations qui posaient problème l’été dernier ont été réglées depuis. Le CHU de Fort-de-France, complètement restructuré, connaît un nouveau départ. Le CHU de Montpellier, qui a rencontré des difficultés à un moment donné pour payer ses charges sociales, a négocié un étalement des versements avec l’URSSAF ».
Des obligations pour financer les investissements hospitaliers
Moody’s a dégradé par la même occasion la note de plusieurs collectivités territoriales françaises (région Rhône-Alpes, ville de Clichy-sous-Bois...). « Moody’s se singularise par une volatilité dans ses appréciations sur le secteur public », relativise Jean-Marc Viguier, secrétaire générale de l’AP-HM (Hôpitaux de Marseille).
C’est à leur demande que les CHU français sont présents sur les marchés financiers, et à ce titre, régulièrement notés. Les banques prêtent moins aux hôpitaux, qui trouvent là un moyen de financer leurs investissements.
En janvier dernier, les CHU ont ainsi levé 228 millions d’euros. Cette opération a été notée AA par l’agence Fitch Ratings. Les investisseurs qui ont répondu à l’offre sont français dans leur grande majorité, certains sont européens. Il s’agit de fonds d’investissement, d’assureurs, deréassureurs et de mutuelles."
Il serait plus sain que les CHU aient un excédent d'exploitation affecté aux investissements...
Pour cela un statut d'EPIC serait un premier pas.

Is pedophilia a wrong brain wiring?
We are currently unveiling the brain mechanisms of human behaviours. The old paradigm of nurture vs nature will be revisited in the perspective of brain wiring based on brain imaging.
As we deal with basic behaviours like sexual arousal the wiring concerned is in the depth of our brain. just the contrary of literature preferences for instance.

Background
Although paedophilia is of high public concern, little is known about underlying neural mechanisms. Although pedophilic patients are sexually attracted to prepubescent children, they show no sexual interest toward adults. This study aimed to investigate the neural correlates of deficits of sexual and emotional arousal in paedophiles.
Methods
Thirteen pedophilic patients and 14 healthy control subjects were tested for differential neural activity during visual stimulation with emotional and erotic pictures with functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Results
Regions showing differential activations during the erotic condition comprised the hypothalamus, the periaqueductal gray, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the latter correlating with a clinical measure. Alterations of emotional processing concerned the amygdala–hippocampus and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.
Conclusions
Hypothesized regions relevant for processing of erotic stimuli in healthy individuals showed reduced activations during visual erotic stimulation in pedophilic patients. This suggests an impaired recruitment of key structures that might contribute to an altered sexual interest of these patients toward adults.

Abstract
Paraphilia is a set of disorders characterized by abnormal sexual desires. Perhaps most discussed amongst them, pedophilia is a complex interaction of disturbances of the emotional, cognitive and sexual experience. Using new imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, neural correlates of emotional, sexual and cognitive abnormalities and interactions have been investigated. As described on the basis of current research, altered patterns of brain activity, especially in the frontal areas of the brain, are seen in pedophilia. Building on these results, the analysis of neural correlates of impaired psychological functions opens the opportunity to further explore sexual deviances, which may contribute ultimately to the development of tools for risk assessment, classification methods and new therapeutic approaches.

Tax wedge: France = Greece = Top OECD countries
"In 2012, the highest tax wedges for one earner couples with two children at the average wage were in France (43.1%), Greece (43.0%), Belgium (41.4%) and Italy (38.3%). New Zealand had the smallest tax wedge for these families (0.6%), followed by Ireland (6.4%), Chile (7%), and Switzerland (9.5%).
The savings realised by a one earner married couple compared to a single worker were greater than 20 per cent of labour costs in the Czech Republic and Luxembourg and greater than 15 per cent of labour costs in five other countries - Germany, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand and Slovenia. "

«Un gène ne code jamais un destin»
Mais deux peuvent en décider Mr l'académicien... Ne vous en déplaise.
Mr Kahn est un habitué des sorties contre la génétique la médecine personnalisée et toutes les données génomiques qui bouleversent la médecine.
Sa formule est juste un triple langage.
Littéralement c'est un truisme, il faut deux gènes pour une expression génique; c'est un peu comme si je disais:

Littéralement c'est un truisme, il faut deux gènes pour une expression génique; c'est un peu comme si je disais:
"un seul gamète ne fait pas un embryon"
Symboliquement c'est pour affaiblir la portée des connaissances liées au génome humain.
Il y a un courant de pensée très conservateur en réalité qui soutient qu'on ne saura jamais tout que la génétique ne livre aucun secret car c'est le milieu qui fait tout. C'est bien évidemment faux. Ce sont les mêmes qui essaient de limiter les théories évolutionnistes ou même de les altérer.
Enfin il y a l'idéologie antimarché. Connaitre le génome c'est pouvoir le modifier, breveter des gènes, des thérapies géniques. C'est un peu comme si on interdisait ou si l'on dévalorisait la bactériologie au motif qu'il va se développer un marché des antibiotiques...
En réalité comme Gabor l'avait pressenti:
"tout ce que les scientifiques peuvent faire ils le feront."

The two different questions about gay marriage
1. Why the state have to rule marriage and gay marriage? Is it for equality, justice or other political arguments? Actually it is only because the so called economic advantages linked to the state marriage and its seal. So marriage could remain a contract, secular, religious or de facto if these advantages are clearly suppressed. No tax payer money in the marriage and btw the nature of the contract will be clearer for all.
2. Filiation or parentage. Today every human is the fusion of two gametes and these gametes are from a man and a woman. This is filiation. Every human has the right to know his/her filiation if possible. Whatever occurs in his/her life, genetic parental, adoption or other events. Is it a fundamental human right? Yes. Is it a political issue? Yes. As a matter of facts some advocates of the exclusive "social" nature of human beings, those who back the nurture as the very trait of humanity would like to erase the genetic lineage as they try to do it for sexual preferences in the queer theory. It's non sense. It's the overwhelming power of ideology on nature. It will not last but those whose individuality will be erased will be their first victims.
