I thank Mr. Thompson for coming over today. Some of the conversations we are having here seem to be on preconceived parameters and I am not sure who put them in place in this country. Based on Mr. Thompson's evidence, he seems to have dedicated his life to saving life during pregnancy, including the mother's life.

I am assuming that foetal-to-foetal transfusion syndrome means twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
