    "content": "I have just mentioned that to relate it to our traditional beliefs. They stigmatise barrenness or lack of children and then blame it on woman. Thanks to modern science. It has established that the majority of barrenness in the family is actually from the man. It is possible, with this Bill, that there are scientific methods of enhancing the chances of couples being able to have children. So, as we deliberate on this piece of legislation, we must be more emphatic about the limits and the sanctions involved that we are about to introduce and also emphasise that in our traditions and religion, we also recognise the steps made by modern science. As we do so, we will run away from stigmatizing women who are barren and embrace modern science. Also, as we embrace this science, we should not lose sight of abuse. I have noticed almost every speaker has also emphasised about the commercial and criminal aspect of it and the regulations we ought to have. For example, if a child is born out of IVF, or a woman wants to conceive through sperms of a stranger, what are the regulations? Will she turn out to be a gold digger and after a short while want to know the father?"
