      "summary": "This report discusses federal and state regulation of research involving human fetal tissue. The\nNIH\nRevitalization Act of 1993 and the Health Research Extension Act of 1985 regulate the federal\nfunding of fetal research and fetal tissue transplantation. The National Organ Transplant Act\nrestricts the receipt or transfer of fetal organs. Additional fetal research statutes exist at the state\nlevel, but have been subject to challenges in federal courts. In general, the courts have found the\nstate fetal research statutes to be unconstitutionally vague.",
