Russia finds 248 human foetuses dumped in Urals forest

Some 248 human foetuses have been found dumped in a forest in Russia.

Officials say the remains are "biomedical waste" from at least three hospitals in the Urals region, where they were discovered.

According to police, they were preserved with formaldehyde in four plastic barrels with tags listing surnames and numbers.

Villagers made the discovery in woodland about 70km (45 miles) north of the city of Yekaterinburg.

Police said some of the lids on the barrels had come off and the contents were scattered on the floor of the forest.

The health authorities say responsibility lies with the organisation charged with the disposal of medical waste from the city's hospitals.

3. "baby embyros... already formed into baby bodies"? Good grief. "please, share your thoughts"

Well, if they were from at least 10 yrs, probably some medical waste that got dumped willy nilly.

What is a "baby embryo"? How does it differ from a, what? Adult embryo? Teenage embryo? And "formed into 'baby bodies''?

I hope this wasn't you on the video. The Drama! "baby bodies"
