I am intrigued by this because later on in the Bill we are going to be discussing allowing mitochondrial DNA to be implanted to stop mitochondrial disease, but prohibiting nuclear DNA from being manipulated to stop nuclear DNA diseases being transferred. There is a distinct difference between the two kinds of DNA, depending on where they are located within the cell. That is why I am intrigued as to why there is no distinct definition between the two.
