    "content": "I am happy because this Bill establishes the Assisted Reproductive Technology Authority which will not only look at the plight of women and men but will also protect the children who come out of this assisted reproduction. What are the rights of these children, as enshrined within the Children Act? Those children who come out of this kind of a union have rights that must be known. Hon. Joyce Lay gave extremely harrowing experiences at the hands of surrogates in the 11th Parliament. We were here in this House. Every Member of Parliament shed tears in this House. I am happy because she eventually got a child whom she is happy with. How then can we help in such situations, if we have a law that guides how all this work happens? We will not talk about divorce and misunderstanding within our families. Barrenness in this country is a taboo. It is stigmatised. A barren woman is divorced immediately after she gets married, even before they find out whether it is the man or woman who has a problem."
