Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Cathain (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]
My Lords, I want to make two quick points. Of course I support the noble Baroness, Lady Knight; what she said was brilliantly described. First, there has been no public consultation whatever on this. Is that a democratic process? Secondly, there are those, and I am one of them, who have decided in their wills to leave their bodies for medical purposes. If I knew, as I now do, what might happen, I am afraid that will be stopped. I have always been a supporter of donor cards, but the whole thing would be such a disaster that we really have to think again.
