Baby's corpse thrown out with hospital's trash

Summary
A baby that was stillborn was apparently thrown away in the trash in New Jersey. Investigators are looking in New Jersey and Pennsylvania trash for the body of the baby. Christ Hospital Spokesperson Barbra Davy says that the baby was born and died after the doctors worked on him for 20 minutes. But beyond that a funeral home person had stopped by the hospital (doesn't give details) and after the body of the baby ended up in the trash, authorities will not explain how the remains got in the trash. Also, stillborn is not considered a person under New Jersey law.
Opinion
In my opinion this kind of thing is a fluke. How does someone end up throwing away a body of a baby. Whoever was responsible for this has a lack of respect for humans and should have consequences. Or if it was an accident the person who did this should probably be fired from his or her job. What i find different is that a stillborn is not considered a person under New Jersey law so that the person who did throw the body wouldn't be charged with anything.
