Families Sue Over Fetal Remains

A macabre breach of contract action is unfolding in Pennsylvania, where families of six decesased babies and fetuses are suing the University of Pittsburgh’s Magee-Women’s Hospital for breach of contract and negligence, after the remains of 19 infants were found stored in a McKeesport funeral director’s garage.  The hospital had contracted with the funeral director to cremate the remains.
