7D  Definition of pronuclear transfer
  Pronuclear transfer is a technique that involves taking the following steps, without intentionally modifying any nuclear DNA or mitochondrial DNA:
 (a) fertilising, with a human sperm, a human egg of a woman to create a zygote (zygote A);
 (b) removing the pronuclei from zygote A;
 (c) fertilising, with a human sperm, a human egg of a different woman to create another zygote (zygote B);
 (d) removing the pronuclei from zygote B;
 (e) implanting the pronuclei from zygote A into zygote B, while seeking to minimise carryover of mitochondria from zygote A to zygote B.
