On amendments Nos. 112, 113 and 115, AHR professionals are concerned that the current wording only describes simple infertility. I defer to the professionals entirely on this. It excludes situations where a woman's uterus is too small, meaning she may conceive but would subsequently miscarry. That is why, in a number of paragraphs, it is proposed to qualify the wording as set out in my amendments to amendment No. 112, after "conceive" to insert "and/or bear".
