What I would like to do, and which would be quite useful to have, is a discussion on it and get the views of the committee. I am aware the Deputy has tabled the amendments. It is a complex area. I would be very happy to have a discussion around the various options. I am not convinced that what we have before us is entirely correct. I believe this is partly to do with the previous iteration of the Bill. It needs another look on two counts: on whether it is only the woman who can access the gametes, and on a provision I am not comfortable with, which was in the original drafting, where the woman must wait 12 months from the death of her partner before she can have access.
