Quote of the Month

"[80] Despite discussions on the proposed Assisted Reproductive Technique Services Act in Malaysia which began over a decade ago, no concrete legislative action has been taken. The existing Human Tissues Act 1974 is insufficient to address the complex legal and ethical challenges of assisted reproduction, highlighting the pressing need for a comprehensive legal framework."
