Sverdlovsk
region authorities are conducting an inquiry into the discovery of four barrels
containing 248 human fetuses in a forest in the Urals.
Regional
police said Tuesday that the "discovery worthy of a horror movie" was
made by residents of the village of Anik late Sunday.
The
police reported Monday that about 50 human embryos had been discovered in
plastic barrels at a spot five kilometers from a highway linking the region’s
capital, Yekaterinburg, with Nizhny Tagil.
But
the reported number almost quintupled by Tuesday morning when all the fetuses
were counted.
Attached
to the palm-sized foetuses, which had been preserved using formaldehyde, were
tags containing surnames and numbers. Police believe that the numbers indicate
the hospital wards where the women who produced them had been patients,
Sverdlovsk region police spokesman Valery Gorelykh told Interfax.
The
police suspect that one or more of the four nearby hospitals are responsible
for dumping the barrels.
The
barrels were apparently thrown into a ravine, where their lids detached and
some of the unborn babies dropped out onto the ground, the police said.
Health
officials in Yekaterinburg hurried to say in a statement Tuesday that all
hospitals in the city have contractors that dispose of fetuses that might be
the results of miscarriages or other incidents. The statement did not specify
the companies that were responsible for disposing of fetuses.
The
Sverdlovsk region health department said the fetuses could not be from
abortions because of the tags attached, Interfax reported.
The
Russian Orthodox Church denounced the fact that the fetuses were seemingly
treated as garbage.
"The
tragic fate of those who died before birth is a sign of the degradation of our
society," Moscow Patriarchate spokesman Vladimir Legoida said in a
statement.
"Hundreds
of human fetuses, found in a forest in central Russia, may have been removed
from a local medical university. Police are questioning a researcher, who was
fired last year and could have taken the material she was working on with her.
However, some doctors say the dumped fetuses could even be the product of
cloning."
