My questions are directed at individual witnesses, but any witness is free to respond if he or she wishes. Professor Madden referred to the surrogacy frameworks in other jurisdictions, and I note that she is critical of the British system and our apparent eagerness to adopt it. I have said before that if something is being done wrong across the water we immediately want to copy it. Are there frameworks in countries which have got it right and which are fair to couples who need the help, and indeed to the children?

Dr. Rose spoke about the potential damage to mothers, but is Professor Madden saying that the research she has consulted does not bear that out?
