That's terrible but I have to wonder -- Since it is medical waste - Shouldn't it be disposed in a separate area rather than having it in the trash with other stuffs? :dunno:

Either way, The way I see it - It clearly was a huge miscommunication with the hospital staff.

If I'm correct - there are only 2 medical wastes - the needles and human waste. The only other separate area rather than trash is..... the coffin. I wonder why the staff didn't double-check with their supervisor before disposing a fully-developed infant.... Maybe they did and supervisor said - just chuck it. Can't wait for final findings of the investigation...

Wouldn't that still apply to human waste since the infant is a human being (or if they consider it to be still born not being as a person according to the article)?

There's more to the story than what it is telling. I have to wonder about that too because clearly, all hospitals are required to have a guideline on how to dispose a dead human being. The trash shouldn't be one of it on the guideline.

Usually the guidelines are at what the parents or patients themselves ask to be done with the deceased.

To the morgue, to be donated to science, or for an organ donar. Is what is usually asked by the hospital staff. Usually they ask and let you know of their procedures.

This mother had no clue!

As well I would love to see the outcome of this story.

I did some research on New Jersey's law. Even if the State considers the stillborn baby to be a "non-person", it does issue a "Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth".
Forms

Also interesting is our English language. It's been called a still "birth" for centuries and now.

The State may consider these babies as "non-persons" (kind of reminds me of slavery days) but is that little girl or boy wrapped in a blanket, wearing a knit cap, with a face that looks like Mommy or Daddy, a non-person to his or her family?

I am pretty sure the family thinks it is a person. For my birthday, my daughter gave me framed pictures of her second daughter and I hung them on my wall with pictures of my first granddaughter. The second granddaughter's photos are from ultrasound and she won't be born until April.

You can see she has her mother's nose. And she already has a name.

I am very sad for that mother.:(
 
I just read the story in detail. So she's from Jersey City... which is about 15-20 min from here. the trash from NJ goes to PA including hazardous waste. I cannot remember a joke from my professor about this garbage something... anyway I'm being :topic:
