The French doctor and researcher Étienne-Émile Baulieu, on which the abortion pill goes back, was divorced from life at the age of 98 on Friday.
Baulieu achieved worldwide celebrity mainly for his work about steroid hormones and the invention of the abortous pill RU-486 (Mifeyne). His research work was “formed by his dedication to the progress that was made possible by science, his dedication to the freedom of women and his desire to enable everyone to lead a better and longer life,” said Simone Harari Baublieu. “Étienne-Emile Baulieu was led by a claim his entire life: that of human dignity,” wrote the Minister of Equal Opportunities Aurore Bergé in Online Service X.
The Etienne Blum, born on December 12, 1926 in Strasbourg in East France in France as the son of Jewish parents, recorded the name Émile Baudliu at the age of only 15 -when he entered the resistance movement against the National Socialists. In 1963, the Doctor of Medicine, a doctor in the natural sciences and endocrinologists, founded the research department 33 at the Institute National de la Research Médicale (Inserm), which was fully committed to investigating hormones. Baulieu led the department until 1997 and worked there until his death.
Possibility of voluntary pregnancy interruption
In 1982 Baulieu developed the abortion pill RU-486. This invention brought about a revolution in the lives of millions of women worldwide by offering them the opportunity of a voluntary drug interruption. Baulieu was therefore regularly exposed to violent criticism and threats by opponents of abortion.
His research into the steroid hormone DHEA, whose anti -suspension -he had discovered, led him to work with neursteroids -steroids of the nervous system. Baulieu has also developed treatment for combating depression, which is currently being clinically tested in various university clinics.

In 2008 he founded the Baulieu Institute, which is devoted to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Baulieu was honored with the Lasker Prize, the highest scientific prize in the United States. He was married to Simone Harari in a second marriage and widower of Yolande Compagnon.
