that's such a nice compliment.

Harriet HallGUEST
So British Fertility Society last month issued new guidance on genetic testing and gamete donation.

Harriet HallGUEST
And as well as doing the kind of STI tests and the things for the safety, there are also genetic testings.

Harriet HallGUEST
But interestingly, there are different sets of genetic testing and also in the US.

that down as like, yeah, I know, but it's something specific that we want to go for under number four, because we still need to go through death.

research Harriet who do you think then just on a side note of being a fangirl of the HFVA who do you think that they are listening to the most is it the clinicians is it prospective parents or is it the products if you will

Harriet HallGUEST
I think it's been a really big journey and I think it starts from Even before the HFVA, I think that originally when you were looking at all assistive reproduction technologies, doctors and scientists were like, the problem is people can't have a child.

Harriet HallGUEST
I don't think they, rightly or wrongly, well, wrongly, but I don't think they were thinking of the future life and any of the necessarily ethical questions because I think they were running on the basis that a life is better than no life.

Harriet HallGUEST
if you've produced a life, like what's the word I'm looking for here? The alternative is the person doesn't exist.

Harriet HallGUEST
So I think from their perspective, they were like, existence is better than non-existence.
