• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to agree with Hon. Jared that this amendment recognises the legal father, which is both biblical and cultural. Biblically, even if you took over your brother’s lineage, the children are still yours and not your brother’s. There is a legal connotation to it. But there are people who donate their sperms without knowing who they donate to; they cannot be the legal The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: fathers. So, we are clarifying who a legal father is. There must be some sort of arrangement. Either he was married to the woman and they agreed to assisted reproduction; or he was a sperm donor but who marries the woman after donating. There must be very clear conditions under which one acquires legal fatherhood. There is a difference between biological and legal fatherhood in assisted reproduction, and I support the amendment. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I want to seek guidance from the Chairperson. I can see that there is a proposed amendment by Hon. Shamalla. I was very good in social sciences and not the biological sciences. Maybe they can clarify to us the import of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: amendments. Hon. Shamalla seeks to introduce ‘eggs’ to the definition of ‘gametes’. If it be the case that biologically it is correct, then the Chairperson can consider adopting that definition and dropping his. They can look at it and see if it will strengthen the Bill. The proposal by the Departmental Committee on Health only refers to sperms, but the one by Hon. Shamalla refers to eggs. I guess there must be gender equality even in eggs and sperms. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think the concerns by Hon. Shamalla have actually been taken into account by other amendments that we have already passed. So, even if it is not carried, I think she has been a very strong soldier for the Church here, and the issues that are of concern to the Church have been carried. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just wanted to ask the Departmental Committee on Health to reconsider the amendment because if you say ‘treatment services to help pregnant women,’ how is treatment service helping the women who are not pregnant trying to get pregnant? This is because this is assisted reproductive technology. It is about assisting people to get pregnant. So, if we are treating the ones who are pregnant, who is assisting the ones who are not pregnant? Who is treating the ones who are not pregnant? This is about people who are not pregnant. So when you ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Chairperson to reconsider or recast the amendment so that it takes care of the pregnant and the ones who are struggling to get pregnant. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Actually, I want to tell Hon. Sankok, on authority, that women who do assisted reproduction cannot carry in the stomach. Somebody else will carry for them. Like me, if I decided to have a child, I will carry it in the heart and not in my womb. I might also carry on my head. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, thank you. I do support the amendments and thank the Committee for the excellent proposals, which are very technical. My experience, even in moving this Bill, is from not giving birth, but the experience is in the technical expertise. So, I bring the natural experience of not giving birth and the technical experience of health. I think it actually adds value to the Bill, and I support. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2019) and its approval thereof with amendments. view
