Ms Marian Barnard:

I am happy to see this legislation coming in. I have been involved in NISIG for approximately 20 years. When I first started, the reproductive technology we now have did not exist. That has leapt on, so to speak, and we have no legislation to protect us as patients. It is not just about making us happy but us making our families happy. They are the core of our society. All we want is the best for children. With good practice and good legislation, we can have happy children as a result of assisted reproduction of all types.
