I move amendment No. 34:



In page 27, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:“(f) any inheritable diseases and/or conditions which are part of his or her medical history.”.
This amendment relates to the acquisition of gametes or embryos by the operator of a DAHR facility. The section will require them when acquiring donor gametes to acquire the information specified in subsection (3) in respect of the donor. This subsection currently prescribes the name, date of birth, nationality, contact details and the date on which the gamete was provided. My amendment would provide for the requirement that knowledge with regard to any inheritable diseases and-or conditions which are part of the medical history of the donor would also be subject to acquisition at that time.
