We are being told this legislation is not really new. Is there a precedent in legislation to deal with damage done to another human being as a result of treatment for suicidality? Is the Bill a new legal departure for the State?

Head 4 refers to the viability of the unborn child. Will the Bill provide for a definition of viability?

I refer to the issue of women disabled by symphysiotomy. How will the State provide for children who suffer a disability as a result of being born prematurely? Will they be able to sue the State for any disability they suffer?
