Fetuses and the Law

The two Med School Faculty members indicted last month for allegedly illegal dissection of human fetuses were duly arraigned last week. Neil L. Chayet, attorney for both Dr. Leon D. Sabath, associate professor of Medicine, and Dr. Leonard D. Berman, assistant professor of Pathology, said last week that he must have his case prepared by early summer.

Many members of the Boston medical community have protested the indictments, claiming the doctors' alleged methods are standard procedure. Chayet did not rule out the possibility of a motion for acquittal.
