Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]

First, I am very aware of the difference between potassium chloride and vitamin K, and I have never written the words ““vitamin K”” on my blog. I defy anyone to go, right now, and find that. It does not exist. Secondly, there is a big difference between a wanted birth which dies in utero and an aborted birth. The RCOG produced the guidelines for abortion. There has been much discussion this evening about whether women have rights. Of course they do. However, in a pregnancy there comes a point when a baby may have a chance of viability. I shall go on to some evidential figures on viability. We have heard much of the EPICure 2 study and the Trent study. Professor Field, who is the author of the Trent study, said on the ““Today”” programme this morning that he is not sure that we should be using viability as a marker, and neither am I.
