Why are people being excluded if they have engaged in the procurement in an ethical and informed manner, they have signed affidavits, the donor has consented to the treatment, and they understand their parenting roles? If they have the aid of clinicians and they have legal advice outside of the parameters suggested in this proposed legislation, is there any room for flexibility in terms of those who have gone down this course already? There is a sense that, as a result of this legislation, they will have lost the rights that they would have assumed they had or they see themselves as having less equality with parents who have gone down the route of the DAHR clinic process.
