    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this important debate. I also congratulate Hon. Millie Odhiambo for coming up with this Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill. I stand to support it because of our knowledge of our society and country. We are aware of people who have had challenges with infertility, which has had a negative impact on their lives. In particular, women have suffered from the negative impact of that. Many have experienced violence, divorce, social stigma and emotional stress, while some have suffered from depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. As a result, many have committed suicide. For that reason, I stand to support this Bill so that this technology can be a relief to many people. Clauses 1 to 19 of the Bill provide for matters regulating and prohibiting activities, including using embryos and parties’ consent. This will solve many problems in our generation, especially women who have in the past sunk into depression because of this."
