It's hard to imagine what the Russian fisherman was thinking when he stumbled on some strange plastic barrels in the middle of the forest in the Ural Mountains recently. Inside the barrels? Human fetuses, 248 of them all tagged with family names.
It almost sounds too sick and twisted to be true, but sadly, that is exactly what happened. The poor man went to the woods to get some firewood, and instead he found hundreds of fetuses. And now for the part of this horror story that will make you forever fear going to a hospital.
Investigators say they think these fetuses actually came FROM medical facilities. No doubt with the help of those family names, the fetuses have been tied to hospitals in Yekaterinburg. And they're putting the blame on a bio-medical waste company for falling down on the job.
Now let's just think about this for a moment, people. You go into the hospital, and you're at their mercy. We all just take it on blind faith that whatever happens after we leave, they'll treat whatever came out of us with the utmost respect.
Hospitals and bio-medical waste companies have to be held to a higher standard precisely because of what they deal with: humans.
We aren't talking someone's old refrigerator that wasn't dumped on the roadside instead of being taken to the proper landfill. Heck, we aren't talking just any medical "waste." This isn't a used syringe. These were human fetuses. Nearly 250 of them!
If they could screw up something his important that badly, it makes me wonder what else is being screwed up. And heads had better roll.
What do you think should happen to the people at this company? Are you uneasy about medical "waste" and what happens to it?

Why does everything have to be some kind of debate or Bashing of one thing or another? Why can't ANY OF YOU just acknowledge that this is a very sad discovery. As for the RUSSIAN comment, this could happen anywhere, the USA is no better when it comes to a way to save money or breaking the rules. Nothing is the exception, really and its all horrid! Can we not just agree on that?
I am a little shocked to see some of the reactions however, so many of you are so quick to jump on the abortion for all no matter what bandwagon, even though this is exactly what is done with the vast majority of fetuses after they are ripped out of the mother.
So is it only sad for these babies with the misconception that they died naturally and cast out in the garbage as opposed to murdered for their mothers convenience?
Sorry sweetie, I don't buy into that. Those were pre-born babies. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid, the sugar is killing your brain cells.
Mmmm . . . and everything the medical community says is the Gospel truth, right?
Brandy Wile - a fetus is not a baby. Get your head out of the bible and into a medical book. If you pro-lifers are all about saving children, why don't you fix the problem with starving and dying children in America instead of focusing on UNBORN FETUSES??? Tackle the first problem and then you have room to open your mouth.
Oh smart one here is the definition of fetus from a medical dictionary; fetus /fe·tus/ (fēt´us) [L.] the developing young in the uterus, specifically the unborn offspring in the postembryonic period, in humans from nine weeks after fertilization until birth. Now what's the difference again. So it seems the problem is only with the disposil. That could never happen over here? Over here we just burn them! And to who ever said we should respect them. Yes we should inside and out of the uterus.
so its Ok to abort a fetus, but is not ok to throw away the little body? not saying that the hospital shouldn't take responsability for what they did, but the bad thing is not getting rid of dead bodies, the bad thing is killing unborn babies...what, when a fetus is dead is a human and when he's alive he's not?!?!
