Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]

I am keen to defend The Daily Telegraph: Roger Highfield said that 50 per cent. of a cybrid's mitochondrial DNA might come from a human and 50 per cent. from an animal, but that is not inconsistent with a very small percentage overall coming from the animal. Over 95 per cent. of the DNA in such a cybrid is nuclear DNA. He is talking only about the split of less than 5 per cent.—probably less than 1 per cent.—of the mitochondrial DNA.
