General Scheme of Children and Family Relationships Bill 2014: Discussion
1:25 pm
Dr. Deirdre Madden:
The legislation coming from the Department of Health will consider clinical best practice and the guidelines from that with a clinical perspective. The issue raised by the Deputy does not raise a parentage concern, as the woman in question would be using her own eggs at a later stage in any event. There would be no concern about legal relationships between a mother, who has stored eggs, and the child to whom she would later give birth.
