7E  Definition of germinal vesicle transfer
  Germinal vesicle transfer is a technique that involves taking the following steps, without intentionally modifying any nuclear DNA or mitochondrial DNA:
 (a) removing the germinal vesicle from a maturing human egg (egg A) of a woman;
 (b) removing the germinal vesicle from a maturing human egg (egg B) of a different woman;
 (c) implanting the germinal vesicle removed from egg A into egg B, while seeking to minimise carryover of mitochondria from egg A to egg B;
 (d) maturing egg B in vitro to the stage ready for fertilisation;
 (e) fertilising egg B with a human sperm to create a zygote.
