STUDY ON ASSISTED
HUMAN REPRODUCTION
 |
Deirdre Madden has just completed her
PhD thesis on the law relating to
Assisted Conception in Ireland. Deirdre
will be conferred with her doctorate this
coming September.
|
| Ms Deirdre Madden, Law,
has recently been appointed to the
Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction
set up by the Minister for Health &
Children, Michaél Martin, TD. The terms
of reference of the Commission are to
prepare a report on the possible
approaches to the regulation of all
aspects of assisted human reproduction
and the social, ethical and legal factors
to be taken into account in determining
public policy in this area. The
Commission is to consider alternatives to
legislation such as reliance on medical
ethics and opinions from interested
members of the public. It will consult
with service providers, consumers,
philosophical and theological experts as
well as relevant people in Northern
Ireland and the UK. It is expected that
given the difficult nature of the issues
to be examined, the Commission will need
at least a year to report. |
