This is just awful.

Bodies of 21 Babies Found in China River <-- click for story

AP

BEIJING
Bodies of 21 babies have been discovered in plastic bags in a river in eastern China and authorities suspect they were dumped there by local hospitals, state media reported Tuesday.

BEIJING -- The bodies of 21 babies, believed dumped by hospitals, have washed ashore on a riverbank in eastern China, state media reported Tuesday.

Video footage showed that the bodies -- stashed in yellow plastic bags, at least one of which was marked "medical waste" -- included some infants several months old. Some wore identification tags with their mothers' names, birth dates, measurements and weights. The official Xinhua News Agency said there were also fetuses among the bodies.

Residents discovered the remains under a bridge in the city of Jining, Shandong province, over the weekend. Tags on the feet of eight of the babies traced them back to a hospital in Jining, according to the People's Daily Web site. Three of them had been admitted earlier to the hospital in critical condition, the report said. It did not say when.

The other 13 bodies were unidentified. The number of girls or boys was not reported.

More girls than boys are aborted in China because of the traditional preference for male offspring, especially in rural areas. Although gender-selection abortions are illegal in China, the practice remains widespread and has led to a skewed sex ratio at birth in China with 119 males born for every 100 females. In industrialized countries, the ratio is 107 to 100.

An official from the general office from the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College confirmed it was involved.

"Several of the bodies of babies with (identification) tags were from our hospital, but not all of them. The officials from the health bureau are still in the hospital doing an investigation," said the official, who like most Chinese officials would not give his name.

Xinhua said medical staff were suspended after the discovery.

"The hospital medical staff involved have been suspended from their work during the investigation," Zhong Haitao, a spokesman at the Jining Health Bureau, was quoted as saying.

Local residents and firefighters recovered the bodies Monday after they were discovered under a bridge spanning the Guangfu River in the outskirts of Jining, Zhong said.

Interviews with residents who discovered the bodies floating near the shore over the weekend were broadcast on the Web site of the Shandong Broadcasting Company, IQILU.com.

The footage shows bodies lying on parts of the bank of the river. Some are uncovered, and others are in bags. They are all small and covered in dirt. A leg sticks out from under one bag. At least one of the bags has "medical waste" written on it.

I've already said this, but we need some kind of a plague to wipe out most of mankind so we can start again. What a horrendous story.

I agree. They thought AIDS would be the next plague.

I was skimming through all my news feeds of headlines and this one stuck out - go figure.

They were not all fetuses. Weren't the parents wondering what happened to their babies after they brought them to the hospital? Or did they just not care?

It's China - we'll never know the whole or true story why this happened. They've been killing girl babies there for decades already, so I'm sure some hospitals help facilitate this shit to some degree. Aren't they limited to how many children they can have there too?

They are. One to two children per family is the limit. That is why the girls are murdered, boys are preferable.

Yep....and there are those in positions in the US government at this time who "admire" the way things are done in China.


Decades Twitch? Try centuries!

Even though the Chinese are attempting to give the appearance of being a modern society their ties to ancient barbarism run too deep.
