    "content": " I am talking about the consent of parties and the issues we have gone through whenever one agrees to assist. A bond develops with the child after giving birth. Many conflicts emerge. This Bill will cure that. The Bill also provides for regulating the rights of parents, donors and children, including the use of sperm after the death of the man. Indeed, sometimes one accepts. However, we do not have a regulation that says that your sperm can be used according to how you had agreed before you passed on. This Bill is coming to cure that and have the licences we do not have. I remember we had a very huge crisis the other day. The Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) was about to agree to bring genetic contraceptives to this country. That is what was going to happen if the President did not stand firm. Our brothers in pharmaceutical companies had really pushed the agenda. What we are saying, as women in this country, is that we want to have regulations that will protect us. We are going through many challenges in the health sector. It is not just the health sector. The trends that have come make us wonder when we take drugs that our bodies are resistant to. It is a nightmare! It is the same way a woman finds herself when undergoing IVF or any method she prefers when looking for a baby. I have always said that a woman is transformed when God gives her a child."
