Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of Assisted Human Reproduction Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Dr. John Waterstone:
It is very tight.
If anybody here has a daughter or a niece who unfortunately discovers in the future that she does not have a uterus that is capable of carrying a baby and therefore needs surrogacy, she would be at a disadvantage as matters stand. If this legislation in its current form goes through, she would be crucified. If she does not have a sister or a best friend to carry her baby, she would be completely at a disadvantage. It really is not supportable.
