Ms Jeannette Woellenstein:

Principle 12 also deals with that. Taking into account that birth certificates in some contexts are used for school, health insurance and accessing different services, there should be a separate document the child or person can use freely and that it is not necessarily required for doing certain administrative steps or procedures, especially to avoid discrimination, as the Senator has said. It concerns not only a person's right to disclosure but also the right to non-discrimination. It is a right not to share with the world, school or health insurance that this is a person who has been born through surrogacy.
