Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

The work of Professor Golombok is frequently cited, but she is one alone in this country with a very small sample. Her work is vastly outweighed by the work of many others, whom I obviously cannot cite endlessly. However, one example is the Department for Work and Pensions, which says: "““Fathers and mothers matter to children’s development. Father-child relationships … have profound and wide-ranging impacts on children””." The work of Professor Golombok is known simply because it stands out from the enormous weight of evidence showing that children receive different inputs from fathers and mothers.
