248 human fetuses found in Russian forest

CBS/AP

(CBS/AP) MOSCOW - Villagers in Russia's south Urals have stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — four barrels containing 248 human fetuses left in a forest.

Police in the Sverdlovsk region said Tuesday the fetuses, preserved in formaldehyde, were kept in barrels with tags containing surnames and numbers.

Police suspect that one of the four local hospitals is responsible for dumping the barrels.

The fetuses were found a few miles away from a highway linking the region's capital, Yekaterinburg, with another big city, Nizhny Tagil.

"It seems the company responsible for disposal of the bio-medical waste did not carry out its duties," the deputy head of the regional government, Vladimir Vlasov, said on state television, according to Reuters.

Jaylah54200, do you actually have zero scientific knowledge or background ???? the offspring or unborn babies of an animal, or mammal, in this case humans, is never, ever considered a "parasite".....parasites are not put purposely in the womb, as a growing baby is.....and the need for food and comfort from the parents, extends beyond birth up to 6 months or a year even, before the child can be self-sufficient.

So reproduction is never parasitic, that is just so beyond comprehension, as to be completely laughable......I laugh at your ignorance.

Luckyseven : what makes you so sure one has to be religious to be moral? Of the ten commandments, the vast majority are concerned with not angering your petty, jealous god. Most so called christians are anti-abortion, but pro death penalty. *** is up with that? Is it all in the timing? The church says you can't use birth control, everyone knows just say no just doesn't work (even Bristol Palin) and even those who use birth control sometimes end up with an unwanted pregnancy. Remove the clump of cells and move on!

how utterly disgusting that you consider fellow humans, born or unborn to be nothing but a "clump of cells" and killing a growing human is just "move on" like nothing happened...........the left has so destroyed any respect for life.

I hope all those murdered babies will at least get a decent burial now.... So, why is it "grisly" if it's just "human tissue", eh? "Fetus" is Latin for "baby".

Just because they didn't dispose of the fetuses like the rest of the world does, in a dumpster or 55 gallon drum so no one supposedly sees them, don't go getting all judgmental on this country...if you don't like the view, get the hell away from the mirror!!!

You so-called pro-life hypocrites are a fricking joke. You want more births but you refuse to have those children supported by social programs. Like right now your political party would rather give tax breaks to the top 2% of income earners instead of helping the poorest Americans in a time of extreme financial difficulty. So to review: Mothers must be forced to give birth so the child can suffer from malnutrition and live under educated so the wealthiest can enjoy more vacations and 3rd and 4th homes in Europe or Asia. I don't think that's sound logic.

Why is this always a political question? Men want sex more than money , life and breath. They hunt it insatiably and then want to control the outcome of their conquest. A woman can not get pregnant naturally without a man, so why is it always the men who want to control the woman's right to terminate a pregnancy?? You asked TaxJoke if we are animals. Well, yes we are, and the men want to procreate and most, or lots, will do what ever they can to achieve their goal. If you want to screw a woman and then have a say so in the outcome of that screwing, then MARRY her and quit ******** that the women are killing your children. It is always the woman's fault for having an abortion, but it is usually only the poor woman that is left to that decision. Yes, there are instances where women think that abortion is a form of birth control, but how guilty is the man for having sex with "that kind of woman" and making that child. The truth is, everybody has the ability to make their own decisions in life, whether to have sex, whether to keep a child, whether to terminate a pregnancy. You have no right to judge or make a decision for that person unless you ARE that person. Train your children better if you do not like this world, otherwise, SHUT UP and let the people who have to participate and live the experience do as they see fit in their lives!!!

If the child was "your body" I would have to agree, but it isn't YOUR body, it's actually a seperate body within your body, a different person entirely.....so we actually care about the life of a human, born and unborn, and disposing of life, so cavalierly is criminal.

Empress, until the fetus is capable of living outside of the uterus, technically it's a parasite.

Which is actually a moot point.

What is germane is who has the right to decide what a woman will do with her reproductive organs (whether there is a parasite living in them or not).

Whether you "believe" in abortion or not, is it up to government to make that decision? Isn't you right-wing folks that keep talking about "less government intrusion"? (Oh, that's right. You're for less government intrusion for yourself, but more for everybody whose opinions don't march in lock-step with your own. Hint Empress: there's a word for that. It's called hypocrisy.)

How long it would take before you'd be screaming in outrage if the US government started considering the idea of mandatory vasectomies.

Hey 7.....I help to take care of my 83 year old father and he is not a parasite. He is the person who raised me and deserves to be taken care of as he, as one comic put it, "crawls his way across the finish line". As long as he wants to be here, I will give him the best I can and hope that it is enough!! Gotta admit though, it just sucks to get old.....but my dad says it's better than the alternative!! If we are as lucky as my father, then we will all find out if that is true.
