And the answer I am giving is that, where a definition is contentious, where it is challenged, as it was between “nuclear” and “pronuclear”, it is necessary to define. Where it is not, as with “fertilisation” and “mitochondrial”, it is not necessary because the biological terms stand. It is not that the Bill is silent on this: it is anchored by the clear understanding.
