I move amendment No. 56:

In page 32, to delete lines 6 to 21 and substitute the following: “(2) The specified form of a section 18 consent shall, in the case of two intending parents who as a couple wish to effect a relevant storage (G) of their own gametes, a relevant storage (E) of their own embryos, or a relevant storage (T) of their own tissues, or any combination thereof, for use in their AHR treatment only, require each of the intending parents to separately—
(a) confirm that he or she has received the AHR information document concerned,

(b) subject to sections 39, 40 and 41, specify the maximum period for which the gametes, embryos or tissues, or any combination thereof, may be stored,

(c) specify what should be done with the unused gametes, embryos or tissues, or any combination thereof, if he or she subsequently—
(i) lacks the capacity to make a decision in that regard, or

(ii) dies,
and

(d) specify what should be done with the unused gametes, embryos or tissues, or any combination thereof, in the case of post factum differences of opinion or changes of circumstances.”.
