handle is hein.journals/cajfl31 and id is 322 raw text is: MORAL EVILS V. HEALTH AND SAFETY EVILS: THE CASE OF AN OVUM OBTAINED FROM A DONOR AND USED BY THE DONOR IN HER OWN SURROGATE PREGNANCY Pamela M. White* This paper critically examines the amendment made in 2012 to section 10(2)(c) of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, 2004 mandating the screening and testing of obtained ovum donated by a donor and Dr Pamela M White holds an LLM (Medical Law and Ethics) from Kent Law School, University of Kent and a PhD from McGill University. For over twenty-five years Dr White worked at Statistics Canada as senior Director in the divisions of Demography, Health Data Analysis, and Data Access and Security where she managed research programs, member of the editorial board for journal Health Reports, and undertook social, health, and family data analysis. During this time, she took assignments with the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner and Assisted Human Reproduction Canada. Since 2013, Dr White has been a Specialist Associate Lecturer, Kent Law School, University of Kent where she teaches undergraduate and LLM degree courses in medical law and ethics and privacy and data protection law. At Canterbury Christchurch University, she teaches Medical Law to law students and Health Law and Ethics to those enrolled in the Health Science program. She has published extensively on Canada's misplaced and misguided Assisted Human Reproduction Act. Her work melds qualitative and quantitative data analysis with critical legal studies to investigate gendered harms and liminal legal spaces. Her publications focussing on surrogacy highlight Canada's lack of empirical data on the practice and its outcomes. Attempts to locate information reveals that Canada is an emerging hub for international surrogacy.
