Читать книгу Need to Know Fertility, Conception and Pregnancy - Harriet Sharkey - Страница 153

In the UK, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act, which was passed in 1990, requires clinics to consider the welfare of any baby that may be born by assisted conception therapy and the welfare of other children that might be affected by the birth of a new baby. So the clinic you opt for will have to ask you a number of personal questions to confirm your ability to meet the needs of a new baby as well as any medical factors that may be relevant. This may include the clinic contacting your GP to obtain relevant information from your medical records. However, before the clinic can do this, they must obtain consent from you.
