Researchers oppose bill banning fetal tissue use

Noted: More than 700 University of Wisconsin professors have signed a letter against the legislation, offering up their own ethical argument.

“The bill will do nothing to reduce the number of abortions going on,” said UW Biochemistry Professor Michael Sussman, one of the co-authors of the letter. “The bill, though, will make it illegal for anyone in Wisconsin to utilize the tissue that is available.”
