Judge says failure to enact fertility laws ‘extraordinary’

A SUPREME Court judge has described as “extraordinary” the failure of Government to take any steps at all to enact laws to regulate fertility treatment here.

There has been no Green paper, White paper or discussion documents relating to regulating fertility control, Mr Justice Hugh Geoghegan said yesterday — “extraordinary.”

It would be “highly desirable” for these matters to be addressed in legislation, he added.
