"content": "slipped. It is good that the Senate saw this and has brought it back. The Committee and I are supporting it. If this was left to go with the Bill and became an Act, it will mean that all research institutions in the country, including our universities will shut down. You know research in plant and animal husbandry is so important for our food security in this country. Therefore, without the genetic materials, this cannot happen. Even in medical research, it is genetic tissue that is used to come up with all these different drugs and so on. Even in Artificial Insemination (AI) or the in-vitro fertilisation, it is about genetics. If we were to stop it, it will be impossible. Finally, Parliament will not have the capacity to vet which genetic material to approve or not. We have no capacity. That is not our business. I support the amendment by the Senate."
