If there is a problem, let’s diagnose it, but let’s not look for solutions from hell. I am submitting a motion to reject this bill at first reading – said Confederation MP Grzegorz Braun on Wednesday in the Sejm during the debate on civil rights. bill on in vitro refunds. Dorota Niedziela, the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, apologized for the MP’s words.
The first reading of the citizens’ bill on in vitro reimbursement is underway in the Sejm. During the debate, Confederation MP Grzegorz Braun said, among other things, about the fact that “because of the costs, people are used to carry out this procedure who do not necessarily have a medical diploma of people.”
I saw these liquid nitrogen tanks where they store what’s left as an effect, a byproduct of this selection
– said Braun.
Braun’s questions
He also quoted media reports.
In distant lands, on the other side of the world, a doctor who fathered forty-nine children used his own sperm during in vitro fertilization procedures. Scandal. In Canada it is only the People’s Republic of Canada, it is far away, it is certainly not here, the gynecologist impregnated patients with his own sperm, it is not known how many children he has
– said Braun.
Addressing the authors of the project, he said: “You invite our compatriots, preying on their life dramas, into the vestibule of hell on this earth.”
Actually we could say: leave us Catholics, normal, honest people, alone and don’t let us pay for what you do there. But the issue, as you can see, has potentially social implications, of which the problems of determining the line of inheritance and wealth will be the least of the problems. There are decent and unfair procedures, the Confederation MP said.
He emphasized that “normal people want children,” but that there are “bad ways to satisfy this desire.”
If there is a problem, let’s diagnose it, but let’s not look for solutions from hell. I am making a motion to reject this bill at first reading
Braun said.
The Sejm is debating a citizens’ project regarding in vitro reimbursement. According to the draft amendment to the Law on Publicly Funded Healthcare Services, the Minister of Health would develop, implement, implement and finance a health policy program for the treatment of infertility, which includes medical procedures for assisted reproduction, including in vitro fertilization.
During the debate, Braun asked where child rights and civil rights advocates were while the debate was going on.
What is the data, what are the numbers, how much of what we call a little human and you call a clump of cells or, alternatively, an embryo, but not to sound too human, how much of that is in stock, in these thermoses, in Białystok and how long Poland is and how wide
– said the Southern MP.
I would like to know what the statistics are. How many pre-selected embryos go to the sink, into the canal, and how many remain after selection, I repeat, not on the Oświęcim slope, but on a laboratory slide. How much is left in thermoses, in cans, with various professors, doctors, zootechnicians from hell who prey on human helplessness, human desire for offspring. How much is it?
– asked Braun.
After how many years will it be removed, will there be committees that will deal with the removal of embryos in thermoses?
– he emphasized.
Response from the citizen coalition
Dorota Niedziela, the chairman of the meeting, responded to the Confederation MP’s statement.
Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to thank you for this statement. First of all, Mr. MP, I live 18 kilometers from Oświęcim, be careful with your words
– she said.
Secondly, on behalf of myself and, I think, most of this House, I apologize for any statements that may have offended both parents and children. I’m very sorry
– emphasized the Deputy Marshal.
He also commented on Braun’s words, among others: Member of Parliament Bartosz Arłukowicz (KO).
I heard MP Braun talking nonsense about in vitro not being a treatment method. Do you already wear glasses? And this is the treatment method? We wear glasses, but we don’t allow people to have IVF. What wisdom
– noted the MP.
Do you know what a Nobel Prize is? Have you ever heard of such a thing? In 2010, Dr. (Robert) Edwards won the Nobel Prize precisely for the in vitro method, and in 2023 you wonder whether people should allow this. Shame and disgrace
– said Arłukowicz.
