It is regrettable that the amendment relating to a definition of "viable" has not been accepted because other proposed amendments hinge on it. I emphasise and support what Senator Healy Eames has just said about the definition of "unborn" in the Bill. It illustrates again the dark reality that underlies the legislation. I would love to think it was a lack of attention by the Government but it is a lack of care, which is much worse.
