Select Committee on Health
Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I might read this Part because I am referencing different subsections and paragraphs and it is easier if I read it.
I intend to move amendment No. 43. A concern was raised with me that the section, as currently drafted, would exclude persons who wish to freeze their eggs. Such persons would not necessarily comply with the section 15(b), which requires a woman receiving AHR treatment to be unlikely to become pregnant or give birth without such treatment.
A similar concern was raised that this section does not take into consideration that the surrogate is a recipient of AHR treatment, as defined under the Bill, and that she would not qualify for treatment under section 15(b). I ask the Minister to clarify those issues.
