Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].


Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

When the Minister comes back in writing, would she be kind enough to define what she means by ““embryo””? Are we talking about something up to the primitive streak or 14 days, or something else? Could we possibly have a name which means that an entity is 14 days old or up to the primitive streak, whichever is earlier, other than ““embryo””, which also embraces a much later stage?
