The import of the amendment is on definitions for understanding and appreciation. As I earlier stated, an embryo is a live living organism that stands and emanates from the body of a human being. Life begins at conception, which is determined within our Constitution and the rights of an unborn child. We cannot dictate as to when the embryo is alive. Is it alive at one, two second or at that infinite immediate time?

Hon. Deputy Chairlady, I oppose what Hon. Shamalla is saying in entirety. I oppose the specific point where she said that the embryo cannot be destroyed. Suppose we realise that during the formation of the embryo, we may have a donor who is a serial killer or a criminal? Let us be factual. These things happen. We may find that whatever we have created in the embryo has many congenital deformities.

No. This is not about abortion. This is still in the test tube and not yet implanted in the womb. I, therefore, implore Members to oppose this one so that we can destroy it depending on the professional medical advice. She has said that we must preserve it, but for how long? Is it for 100 years or eternity waiting for another chance? So, I oppose.
