    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise, at the outset, to support this Bill. It is quite sorrowful for a couple to desire children and yet be physically unable to be blessed with one. It is stigmatizing. Those couples need a lot of social support and love. There have been many things that are going on around the inability to bear children. There have been unregulated practices of organ harvesting. We have many quacks here in Kenya who harvest organs, ovaries and sperm and sell them to desperate couples in need of children. It is sorrowful and quite heartless for those people. Those horrific practices must be put to a stop. I am of the opinion that proper regulations on how to deal with matters of infertility and inability to bear children must be put in place. Therefore, I am very delighted today to see this Bill come up. The use of assisted reproductive technology must be regulated. We know what happens around those technologies. First, they are not affordable and so, we must make them affordable because some couples suffer here in Kenya. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
