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:

Our counselling is very neutral. I always say something to parents when we offer counselling - it is not that we think they are crazy or need counselling, but it is important for them to balance all of the pros and cons in order to make an informed decision. It is all about informed choice. It does not matter what I think. I am just the health care provider. That is what we are doing.
