Proceeding contribution from David Burrowes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill
There is no safeguard in the Bill concerning any age limit. The Government talk a lot about ““Every Child Matters””. What about the saviour—or spare parts—sibling, burdened with guilt, obligation and insecurity? Do they not matter—or do they matter, but just not as much as their older brother or sister? Does a child treated as a mere commodity really matter to the Government?
