I thank the delegates for their replies. I was a member of the convention on the European Union Charter on Fundamental Rights. We spoke for a long time about a reference before coming to the conclusion that everybody had the right to be born. That is from memory. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child also states everybody has the right to be born. To be absolutely sure, I would like a comment on that issue.
