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 Sjef Gevers:
I do not agree with this equation. We do not consider the unborn a person. While the unborn's life is entitled to some degree of protection, and more at a further stage of development, only after birth does he or she receive the full protection that a person receives. No such equation would be accepted.
