The Malta Federation of Organisations Persons with Disability explained that the Right to Life is enshrined in Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states “everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person.”

The MFOPD went on to say that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with disability also mentions the Right to Life in Article 10 “States Parties reaffirm that every human being has the inherent right to life and shall take all necessary measures to ensure its effective enjoyment by persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others.”

MFOPD concluded by saying it is “not against supporting couples to have children, but is against choosing which embryo lives.”
