Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-29
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I move amendment No. 5:
In page 25, to delete lines 15 to 17 and substitute the following:
“(a) the current state of medical evidence as to—
(i) the increase in the number, or the severity, or both, of risks (whether bodily or otherwise), and
(ii) the likelihood of a successful outcome,
associated with providing the relevant treatment to persons by reference to increases in age;”.
The Bill as amended by the Select Committee on Health provides in section 12 for the Minister to specify the upper age limits for being provided with assisted human reproduction, AHR, treatment. Amendment No. 5 adds criteria which the Minister shall have regard to when making such regulations. The new criteria relate to the likelihood of the successful outcome of AHR treatment in the context of how it increases with age.
