I will stand behind what I said. I work very closely with Jeff Nisker. He's a PI on a project I have that is funded by CIHR. I am working with him looking at healthy embryos. I saw drafts of the documents sent out to those couples, and these were not returned as not deliverable. That's different. It's not that they didn't reach the place and the post office sent them back. It was made very clear that if we did not hear back from them, our understanding was that we were not to act on the consent and that we would not act on that consent. That is why I made the statement that it can be interpreted in that way.
On December 12th, 2006. See this statement in context.
