I wish to discuss issue of risk. I note that Dr. Boylan mentioned earlier how different people will assess risk, especially woman. Dr. Boylan gave the example of someone who was tryingin vitrofertilisation for years. She may assess risk differently from someone who may be in her 40s with a family. Therefore, the views of the woman need to be incorporated into the decision. Does Dr. Boylan agree that it would be practically impossible for us to legislate for the risk in primary legislation, given those scenarios? Does he agree that the issue of risk would be best looked at in guidelines or regulation?
