“The body of a fetus, preserved in formaldehyde, was discovered by a passerby in a box inside a bucket at the entrance to the Har Hamenuchot Cemetery in Jerusalem. A label was found on the box with the name of the mother. Police contacted the parents, who said the baby had died 11 years ago at birth at Hadassah University Medical Center, Ein Karem, and they had left the burial arrangements to the hospital. Police are investigating the possibility that the body was used for research without the parents’ knowledge and have given the case to the Health Ministry for further investigation.”
