I will ask a follow-up question. If, for example, a court decided not to authorise the arrangement due to some failure in the certification process, I suggest that it is already too late once the child has been conceived and the gestation is ongoing because we are going to end up with a baby at the end of the process. There are so many children already affected by a legal lacuna. We are trying to safeguard those children. Are we not creating another gap whereby children and parents are not given rights?
