At least 34 fetuses found in doctor's garden in Poland

A doctor was arrested in Poland after the discovery of 34 human fetuses buried in the garden of her former residence, authorities said on Monday (15).
Magdalena H., 57 years old, with no criminal record, is suspected of having used the fetuses to carry out experiments and could face a sentence of up to 12 years in prison.
Her case triggered a huge controversy in this traditionally Catholic country, and many wonder how she managed to obtain the fetuses, taking into account that Poland has one of the strictest abortion laws in the world.
For now, there is no evidence that she obtained them through illegal abortions, according to a spokesperson for the Public Ministry.
The accusations against the doctor include crimes of vilification of a corpse, inadequate waste management and abandonment of dangerous materials in an unauthorized location.
Last week, prosecutors received a report that medical waste had been found during construction work at his former home, located in the town of Lutoryz, in the southeast of the country.
After a search of the area, in which dozens of police officers, sensors and dogs participated, at least 34 fetuses were found buried in the garden.
"It is very likely that the detained woman used this waste to carry out experiments", said the spokesman for the Rzeszow District Prosecutor's Office, Krzysztof Ciechanowski.
The doctor was arrested on Friday and was sentenced to three months' preventive detention.
Upon learning of the accusations, she did not plead guilty, but stated that "she herself had taken and buried the human fetuses found on her property", as well as other medical waste.
