Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Obstetric Medicine in the Netherlands: Professor Sjef Gevers and Professor Eva Pajkrt, University of Amsterdam

2:00 pm

Professor Eva Pajkrt:

There is something of a contradiction over whether one should ask a woman about options because there is a belief that if a woman comes with a request, one should focus on that rather than coming up with alternatives that the woman is likely to have considered already. I have no idea how we should change the law to facilitate adoption. I do not work in adoption and am not the person who should comment on it.
