I thank Dr. Wingfield. I strongly agree on the pre-birth parental situation. It is very important. I would be fearful that if we do not have that in place, we are going into this in a very unusual frame of mind. Everybody understands with surrogacy that the intention is that the intending parents are the parents. I believe having a pre-birth order is definitely the way forward. I was glad to see that. It is interesting to see that the vast majority of the medical profession agree with that too.
