1 42 otherwise requires:
1 43 1. "Destructive research" means medical,
1 44 scientific, or laboratory research, or other kinds of
1 45 investigation that destroy or injure the subject of
1 46 the research. "Research" means a systematic
1 47 investigation, including research development,
1 48 testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or
1 49 contribute to generalizable knowledge. "Destructive
1 50 research" does not include in vitro fertilization and
2 1 accompanying embryo transfer to a woman's body or any
2 2 diagnostic test that may assist in the future care of
2 3 the woman.
2 4 2. "Fetus" means a living organism of the species
2 5 homo sapiens from eight weeks' development until
2 6 complete expulsion or extraction from a woman's body,
2 7 or until removal from an artificial womb or other
2 8 similar environment designed to nurture the
2 9 development of such organism.
2 10 3. "Human cloning" means human asexual
2 11 reproduction, accomplished by introducing the genetic
2 12 material of a human somatic cell into a fertilized or
2 13 unfertilized oocyte whose nucleus has been removed or
2 14 inactivated, to produce a living organism with a human
2 15 or predominantly human genetic constitution.
2 16 4. "Human embryo" means a living organism of the
2 17 species homo sapiens from the single-celled stage to
2 18 eight weeks' development.
2 19 5. "Human somatic cell" means a cell having a
2 20 complete set of chromosomes obtained from a living or
2 21 deceased human organism of the species homo sapiens at
2 22 any stage of development.
