I move amendment No. 57:

In page 32, line 29, after “sperm” to insert “or her egg”.

This provides for donor gametes to be used after a donor dies as long as he or she has consented. When we discuss that, there seems to be a lack of equality between males and females, particularly in circumstances where the donor is deceased and consent has been given to use the gamete. I do not know if the Minister is disposed to looking at that. Does he accept that there is an issue there? I think he has said that already-----
