Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords].
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]
Surely it is up to the woman. There is informed consent in those procedures. She may say that she wants a chance to save the affected sibling's life and wants a child who can give that chance. She is prepared, as are all those who undergo IVF, to take the risks, which are not trivial, to have that child. The hon. Gentleman's comments apply to all IVF treatment and assume that people cannot give informed consent, which they do, in their thousands.
