Yes, protocols of this nature must be submitted to the hSCRO Office and many of these protocols will qualify for administrative review. As Pennsylvania has certain restrictions for the use of fetal tissue derived from an induced abortion, protocols will be reviewed by the hSCRO for compliance with the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act.
