The amendment looks as though it is becoming punitive at this stage. It does not look like an attempt to construct reasonable social policy. I urge Senator Mullen to reconsider his amendment and to think through its implications. I know he is a thoughtful and compassionate person. I ask him to think this matter through. I happen to believe that I am right and they are wrong about what is going to happen to donor sperm availability in this country. There is a perfect storm of bad stuff that could happen here if we suddenly find there is no other opportunity available for people other than to take part in yet another Irish solution to an Irish problem. This time they should be allowed do it.
