I ask the Taoiseach about the assisted human reproduction Bill. As the House will be aware, the World Health Organization has stated that one-in-six couples suffer with fertility problems. This assisted human reproduction Bill will be of vital assistance to those couples. It covers the areas of surrogacy, embryo donation, gamete donation, stem cell research and also the screening of embryos for genetic serious diseases. I wrote an article about this recently and received a deluge of queries in regard to it. There is a severe absence of legislation with regard to this. It is not even just legislation that is not sufficient.
