Indiana opposes university bid to join suit vs. abortion law
The school recently filed a motion seeking to intervene in the suit, claiming the law could subject researchers to criminal charges because they use fetal tissue for research into autism, Alzheimer's and other diseases.
The motion states that when researchers join or leave IU "they transfer their laboratory materials with them."
"[...] even were Dr. Lahiri to stop doing his research in the state of Indiana as a result of the Enrolled Act, he runs the risk that the mere act of transferring his research to another institution would constitute a felony," IU's motion states.
