Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of Assisted Human Reproduction Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Dr. Joanna Rose:

I can give examples. In England, they prepare people and facilitate them to go abroad, for example, to Spain. They get all the medication needed to set them up to seek anonymous gametes abroad. That happens, even after my court case established we have a human right to know our identity. There are intentional loopholes to allow it to happen, which I hope the Government closes.
