I’ve had this question for a while but never wanted the answer bc being unanswered made it a fascinating topic. But now I kind wanna know lol.
Please don’t turn the comment section into anything controversial people.

Aw, c’mon…
Jen? Is that you? From hr
Weirdly reminds me of Futurama
It depends on the country, facility and age of the foetus. In a hospital setting it’s almost always medical waste as far as I know, but some people choose burial or strew the ashes in a special place after an abortion/miscarriage. If it’s a medical abortion it’s a non-issue, usually flushed.
Stem cell research is based on controlled origins, such as embryos from IVF, scientific volunteering, egg donations or similar procedures.
Ohhh strew
I read stew at first and was kind of concerned
To be placed in a vat to be cloned and grown into supersoldiers for the upcoming UN vs Martian Congressional Republic War.
Typically it’s incinerated in the United States
And/or use for stem cell research
No. Not unless consent was granted. You can’t just use any human tissue without ethics approval and consent, it’s a criminal offense.
It gets disposed of like all other medical waste.
I actually dont know how other medical waste is disposed either?
Per the Wikipedia article on biomedical waste:
Biomedical waste is often incinerated. An efficient incinerator will destroy pathogens and sharps. Source materials are not recognizable in the resulting ash. Alternative thermal treatment can also include technologies such as gasification[13] and pyrolysis including energy recovery with similar waste volume reductions and pathogen destruction.
An autoclave may also be used to treat biomedical waste. An autoclave uses steam and pressure to sterilize the waste or reduce its microbiological load to a level at which it may be safely disposed of.
Microwave disinfection can also be employed for treatment of biomedical wastes. Microwave irradiation is a type of non-contact heating technologies for disinfection. Microwave chemistry is based on efficient heating of materials by microwave dielectric heating effects. When exposed to microwave frequencies, the dipoles of the water molecules present in cells re-align with the applied electric field. As the field oscillates, the dipoles attempts to realign itself with the alternating electric field and in this process, energy is lost in the form of heat through molecular friction and dielectric loss.
For liquids and small quantities, a 1–10% solution of bleach can be used to disinfect biomedical waste. Solutions of sodium hydroxide and other chemical disinfectants may also be used, depending on the waste’s characteristics.
Sooooo, burn it, almost burn it with steam, almost burn it with radio waves, or chemically burn it.
Thanks.
In Germany the parents get asked if they want a burial but in my case most parents decide that the hospital should handle it. It is then disposed of in a mass grave.
Depends on the state. Some states require the foetus to treated as medical waste. They’ve recently changed that in the SW (I can’t remember if it was BW or RP).
How do you think they make hot dogs?
Where do you think McDonald’s hamburgers come from?*

Put them under your pillow at night.
Play basketball.
They’re used as raw material for the plastic containers for food at Tubberware
rich people buy them for a profit
