Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Committee Stage
10:30 am

I notice that the Minister is saying all the time that future legislation is coming with regard to assisted human reproduction. We are dealing in this legislation with donor-assisted human reproduction. I am truly amused because the issue of assisted human reproduction is generally less contentious than the issue of donor-assisted human reproduction. It really puzzles me that assisted human reproduction is not being dealt with now. Donor-assisted human reproduction is the most difficult area and it is in this Bill. Assisted human reproduction should be dealt with in this spot in the Bill. It is a terrible pity that the Minister is putting it off and saying it will happen in the future. I would like to know why that is the case.
