I move amendment No. 13:

In page 14, line 28, after “treatment” to insert the following: “or, in the case of such treatment provided to any other person (including a child), to safeguard that person’s possibility of becoming a person first-mentioned in this definition”.

This amendment seeks to amend the definition of "intending parent" by adding a reference to those undertaking AHR treatment for purposes other than seeking to become a parent at the specific time of the treatment. Essentially, it affords more protections and rights to people who are, for example, engaged in cryopreservation or AHR treatments whereby they would look to become pregnant or have a child in several years' time. The amendment is just expanding that element.
