Proceeding contribution from Baroness Knight of Collingtree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]
My Lords, some years ago a man who had four grandchildren, with another expected, drew up his will. He made arrangements to provide for the expected grandchild. There was a row and the people concerned took the matter to court. The court agreed that the child was alive at the time the grandfather died. Therefore, although he was not born, he was considered to be a person and he got the money that the grandfather left him.
