Select Committee on Health
Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Mr. Colm McGennis:
I think this was based on the advice of the Attorney General. It connects with the fact that the surrogate is still considered the mother at birth. It is only after birth and the parental order court process that that would change. I think the words "surrogate mother" are there to reflect that fact.
