    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there are many Members who understand this very well. I have actually interacted with a number of Members on this but I know that when you are doing legislation, sometimes it is a bit technical, especially at this stage. The amendment I am bringing is what follows what the Hon. Member is saying. As it is, what it says is that if you want to undertake assisted reproduction procedure, a man and a woman have to appear before the doctor together. My concern is that if we say that, we may be in a situation where you may require a donor to appear with--- That is my understanding. It says:- “In the course of providing in-vitro fertilization treatment services to woman, a person shall not in the course of providing assisted reproductive treatment to a woman use the sperm of any man unless the services are being provided for the woman and the man together and parties have consented.” Sometimes the man giving does not even need to be known. He is merely a donor whose sperms are in the sperm bank. He does not need to come and be given services. Many times, that is what happens especially where the man has a problem. Where the man has the problem, you are not going to call the person who has donated the sperm. If it is not a relative, you are not going to call the person who has donated the sperm to appear before a doctor. That, in essence, is what I am suggesting."
