Grisly find in Paris hospital Aug. 2, 2005 at 4:45PM

The bodies of 351 fetuses and stillborn children have been discovered in a mortuary room of a Paris hospital.

Some of the fetuses date to 1985 and have been kept illegally in the St. Vincent de Paul Hospital in Paris, according to the French Health Ministry, which announced the findings Tuesday.

French Health Minister Xavier Bertrand said the government would open a judicial investigation into the matter, France's TF1 television reported. France's Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin called for an investigation into all hospitals in France with mortuary rooms linked to their maternity units.

Patrick Pelloux, head of a French association of emergency doctors described the discovery at St. Vincent de Paul as "shameful," and called for those responsible to be punished.

The French welfare state has been described as "cradle to grave." Without the cradle, it's "erection to resurrection." Callous.
