Baron, a law professor, traces the history of state and federal\nregulation of fetal research from 1973 to 1983. He explores the dilemmas\nraised by research on fetuses, particularly aborted fetuses, and the aspects\nof fetal research that the federal regulations and state laws were enacted to\ncontrol. While criticizing many of the states' actions for lack of uniformity\nand blanket prohibitions based on the status of the fetus or abortus, Baron\nacknowledges that less-than-perfect legislation is the price of rule making in\na pluralistic society that is still working toward a consensus on\ncontroversial issues such as abortion and fetal research. Using as an example\nthe 1973-1974 debate between researchers and law makers in Massachusetts, he\ndiscusses how advocates on both sides of the fetal research question might\neducate and persuade each other to reach an acceptable regulatory compromise. \n(KIE abstract)
