I have one final point which relates to two issues that are relatively minor, although they might not be minor to some. The Bill requires that intending parents wishing to undergo assisted human reproduction be provided with counselling. We had some conversation about that at the previous meeting. I would welcome a comment if Dr. Bracken has something to say about that, as it was not included in her submission.

I would also welcome a comment on the age limits. The specification is that a person would have to be aged 21 or over and not over the age of 47.
