Dr. Craven misunderstood the question I asked, namely, whether the definition of unborn, as currently constituted in head 1, included even the very sad situation where the foetus is no longer alive. I believe it does, which means that it would require women, even where they do not wish to do so, to carry to term a foetus that is not alive. That is my concern, and also that in head 19 we are criminalising those women and girls.
