Abstract
For Durkheim, the moralization of professions is an essential determination for moralization of society as a whole. Present debates among "specialists" attempting to develop artificial procreation ethics allow to think in a different way. Chances indeed that an individual has to take part in the development of collective morals prove to depend on the way he can solve what appears to him as an antinomy between two normative orders. A comparison between attitudes of biologists and physicians of medecine involved in these debates show that access to an "ethical" position appears as a transgression of this "special moral" that professional ideal represents. Expressive compulsions facilitate it, but only professional dominance and extra-professional visibility authorize it.
