The Fifth Report by the Science and Technology Committee of the House of Commons advances majority positions which often are highly supportive of reproductive liberty. This was, however, achieved with considerable difficulty and involved numerous compromises with a minority favouring intrusion by the state into reproductive matters. The report identifies examples of regulatory overreach in such areas as gender selection and gamete donation. The report is available on the internet and deserves to be widely read both at home and abroad. It merits being honoured not only for the nobility of some of its expressions, but more significantly to the extent that it proves effective in enhancing the protection of reproductive freedom from creeping statism and arbitrary regulation.
