As people would grave rob for clothing, bones, teeth, hair, etc. from kings and other royalty.
Then they would proudly display their goods or wear the bone fragments in a necklace.
This story might venture towards the really perverse, possibly black market sales, trinkets, etc.

Please stop lumping in these asshole sociopaths and narcissists and authoritarian personality types in with us mentally ill and those traumatized by dark triad assholes!
I am so sick of this shit!

(5,164 posts)Of people who suffer from mental health conditions. Sociopaths and psychopaths are considered to have aspd antisocial personality disorder which is a mental health diagnosis. They can be non violent.
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,480 posts)And authoritarians are also on that spectrum of abusive personality type.
Sociopaths and other dark triad people. cannot be cured with therapy,medication does not help.. this means to me the problem is not an illness or trauma that can heal,its who they are thats the problem. A mental illness can improve.
Dark triads never change or improve because they think they are ok as they are. And thier toxicity serves them well.
They create mental illness via trauma.
Meowmee
(5,164 posts)There are other conditions that cant improve very much either, many more benign. Some of these people were traumatized themselves as infants / children which is how they became psychopaths etc. maybe some have a hereditary inclination as well. Then you have people like dump who enjoy hurting others as well, sadists.
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,480 posts)There would be a hell of a lot more psychopaths than there is now.
I think dark triads are often dark triad before they get abused.
People with empathy tend to not want to treat people like thier abuser treated them.

(5,164 posts)Than we would like to admit, evidence the war atrocities we are seeing today. Most are on a lower level and are not violent offenders. As to what creates it there seem to be two schools of thought, imo it is most likely a combination of hereditary factors plus environment.

Whose fetuses ARE these, really? What is he hiding? There are so many questions.
wnylib
(21,528 posts)Test each fetus to see if they came from the same person. Test the owner of the building and his tenant. Test the fetal development stage.
My first thought was that they might have been stolen from a clinic. But then, why?
My second thought was that someone connected to that building paid for or had abortions and hid the evidence in the basement. But that's just as bizarre as stealing from a clinic. Were secret abortions done in the basement?
Or, were these the result of miscarriages? If so, why not have them legally disposed of?

(25,436 posts)Mahoney said the antiabortion movement has a history, especially in the 1970s and 1980s when medical disposal was less stringent of going into clinic dumpsters in search of fetal remains so they could do burial services. Activists sometimes would use the material for advocacy.https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2022/04/01/lauren-handy-dc-abortion-fetuses/
You know those anti-abortion fetus pictures that we see?...that's what this is. Someone at a clinic gave them to the group.

(17,171 posts)Of late term abortions. I thought they may have been on to some kind of Pet Sematary thing.
The city medical examiner does not plan at this time to perform autopsies on the five fetuses police removed from a Capitol Hill rowhouse earlier this week, according to two D.C. officials with knowledge of the case, even though the group involved in their discovery claims the fetuses were all late-term abortions performed illegally
The fetuses were found in a basement apartment occupied by Lauren Handy, a well-known local antiabortion protester and director of activism for Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.
PAAU said in a statement Thursday evening that it received the fetuses from a whistleblower who worked at Washington Surgi-Clinic, a D.C. abortion clinic, and had arranged for police to pick them up because they believe the fetuses were aborted illegally.
The clinic declined to comment, but its website says it performs abortions up to 27 weeks of pregnancy, which is at the very end of the second trimester.
Handy and other members of her group scheduled a news conference Tuesday where they said they would share details.
malaise
(269,096 posts)A local television station, WUSA9, captured video of police searching the home and reported that the home belonged to Lauren Handy. The 28-year-old was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public on Wednesday that accused the group of traveling to Washington, blocking access to the reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that "people will freak out when they hear" what detectives found inside her house. Handy did not respond to a message sent to her Facebook profile seeking comment.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the clinic pretending to be a prospective patient and scheduling an appointment. Once there, on Oct. 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment. Five of them chained themselves together on chairs to block the treatment area as others blocked the employee entrance to stop other patients from coming inside, the indictment alleges. Another suspect blocked people from coming into the waiting room, prosecutors charge.
Handy and the eight others were charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The federal law, more commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services.

Theres also Monica Miller, best known for keeping fetal remains in her home for photographs and eventual burial.
