I move amendment No. 44:



In page 30, before line 1, to insert the following:Prohibition on use of gamete or embryo of related donor

27. The operator of a DAHR facility shall not use or permit to be used in a DAHR procedure

a gamete or an embryo provided by a donor where—
(a) the donor of that gamete or embryo, as the case may be, and the intending parent or any one of the intending parents, as the case may be, are within the prohibited degrees of relationship as set out in Part 1 of the Schedule#, or

(b) the donor of that gamete or embryo, as the case may be, and the spouse, civil partner or cohabitant of the intending parent or any one of the intending parents, as the case may be, are within the prohibited degrees of relationship as set out in Part 2 of the Schedule#.”.
This is the amendment I referred to before and I will not read the verses of the song "I'm My Own Grandpa" again, although I am tempted. It could be career ending.
