    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to the In-vitro Fertilization Bill, 2014. I want, first of all, to indicate that I am supporting this Bill. The biggest frustration for any woman, especially in African society, is childlessness. Many times you find that most polygamous families come about because the man cannot handle a situation where the first wife has not sired a baby. It is a frustration that many women go through not only in this country but in many African countries. It is a pity that I get to understand, especially from the proposer of the Bill, hon. Millie, that this country is still lacking a legal framework to guide modern human reproduction technologies. We are 50 years into Independence and a basic health issue like reproduction needed to have been considered way before. I would urge hon. Millie that even as we look at this specific matter, other issues of reproduction need to be given attention especially by people who have some better knowledge than us. We must embrace science and technology. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also a Christian. I profess the Seventh Day Adventist faith which is also a strong faith. We need to be modern and we need to accept certain realities. I have read the Bible from the first chapter to the last; from Genesis to Revelation and there is nowhere that that Bible says--- The Bible says that God instructed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
