Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answers by Lord Darzi of Denham on 9 March (WA 204–5), why an embryo that has been left to outgrow for more than 14 days is no longer considered to be an embryo by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, if every embryo created in the laboratory otherwise falls within regulation, regardless of its potential for development.
Answer
I refer the noble Lord to the Answer I gave on 10 February 2009 (WA 176). I have nothing further to add to that Answer.
