    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I would like to appreciate the fact that this Bill brings Christianity and Islam into coalition science. I would also want to appreciate the fact that it is not only about women as most speakers have put it.It has been said that we are supporting this Bill to help women. That is not the case. It is not only women who are faced with infertility issues. I would also like to accept the fact that it is important that religions of this world start embracing science and become flexible. It is important for all of us to appreciate the fact that we are moving in the ways of science. Science is bringing solutions that we must all start to appreciate. Science presents solutions. I would also like to appreciate the fact that Intro-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) will bring a solution that does not involve the act of a man and woman having to get sexually involved. Therefore, it will evade what we are calling “emotions” that come out with this kind of thing. I also appreciate the fact that lesbians and homosexuals will also take advantage of this. This is because it is going to provide them with a solution. They can have children and continue with whatever relationships that they have. I also have concerns on the authority that is proposed by this Bill. It is an authority that will regulate. Creating a whole authority to deal with IVF--- I do not support it. Probably, what we should do is to have regulations that support or guide this IVF. We do not need a whole authority. I also appreciate the fact that consultations seem to have not been very wide. I appreciate the fact that this Bill came from the Tenth Parliament and it is now in the Eleventh Parliament and consultations are still going on. I urge that we have more consultations. I beg to oppose."
