I take the Deputy's point, but all we are doing with the primary legislation is staying in line with EU law, that is, both the current directive and the incoming one. I fully agree we do not want this to be a financial incentive. That is not so much an issue for men but for embryo donation, which is an intrusive process. We do not want circumstances, and I presume the Deputy agrees, where women feel coerced or as though they have no choice, given it is an intrusive process. All we are doing here is staying in line with the EU directives.
