I will ask a supplementary question to that. Obviously, surrogacy is different from adoption. Does Dr. Mulligan not believe that, where it is regulated and people know exactly what arrangement they are entering into, there should be no question as to whether that person would want a legal right over the baby? Is Dr. Mulligan saying that the person should have that right in case she changes her mind?
