ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS

The scene takes place within the National Assembly. The Health Commission (Committee?) is gathered to discuss a bill proposed by X, who wants to ban the commercialization and use of all the molecules suspected to be endocrine disruptors in France.

(((can you please help me find  a better formulation than molecules suspected to be endocrine disruptors)))

Deputy X and three colleagues, who have knowledge on endocrine disruptors due to their previous backgrounds, will first discuss the bill. You will then be able to give your opinion on the two different propositions. In the end, the bill will be put to the vote.

Participants :

• Deputy X, who was previously working as an endocrinologist

• Deputy Y, who was previously working as a naturopath and former member of ASEF (Association Santé Environnement France) => supporting the bill

Two deputies will represent those who strongly disagree with this bill as they do not believe it is realistic nor feasible

• Deputy Z, who was previously working as a engineer for a Green biotech company

• Deputy A, who was previously working as a farmer and former member of AFDI (Agriculteurs Français et Développement International)

The solutions proposed and put to the vote :

• supporting the bill = ban the commercialization and use of all suspected ED in France, then in Europe

• against the bill = force the industry to do clinical trials and prove the safety of their product for users ; if they cannot, ask them to find another molecule to replace the dangerous one
