    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make comments on this important Bill. Technology has advanced and in many parts of the world, those sets of scenarios have been projected, are already happening and children have been born through those processes. On the issue of surrogate mothers, when it comes to the law of this country on the registration of a child who has just been born, a birth certificate is issued and it is likely to bear the name of the mother who has just delivered that child. I believe any efforts to try to change this could be very difficult. Not unless we have a law which guides the system on how the whole matter will happen. Otherwise, there is likelihood of a mother delivering a child that is not hers and had requested for payment but according to this law, there will be no compensation for having taken care of that child for nine months. Then, there is a likelihood that immediately after birth the lady may like the child and admire it. Therefore, there is the need for some law to regulate all those scenarios and many others.
