Fetus found on plane

HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities are investigating the discovery of what appears to be a fetus in the bathroom of a Continental Airlines plane that arrived in Houston on a flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport.
FBI Special Agent Shauna Dunlap said that while the plane was being cleaned about an hour after the plane landed Sunday, the cleaning crew found the apparent fetus. The medical examiner's office will do an autopsy to determine if it was viable.

Dunlap said that if it is determined that a crime occurred, then the FBI will work with Houston police to determine where it occurred and continue from there.

I hope they find out who did this. One would think it wouldn't be too difficult. I'm not sure what to think of this. My first thought is that it's pathetic. Another lack of regard for the life of a fetus. We don't know if it was viable or not, but if it was . . . what a waste. I hope this person is found and punished. What a way to have your life ended. In the toilet of an airplane. Simply left there to die . . . simply left there and forgotten.

I can't imagine this is much of anything else. The first question that comes to mind, why didn't the person say something? If this was an early delivery, a miscarriage, then no one is at fault and no one would think anything of the person in that position. As it is now, even if it was a miscarriage, you have to wonder why nothing was said and the fetus was just left there in the toilet. Doesn't speak well for the intentions of the mother.

Sad, sad, sad.
