Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of Assisted Human Reproduction Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Lydia Bracken:
While the woman may have a medical condition whereby she cannot have another child, based on the research we have on surrogates, they do not typically see the child they are carrying for another person as their own. As such, I do not necessarily believe that would mean a woman in such circumstances would be more inclined to want to keep the child because at the end of the day, it is not her own genetic child.
