A female doctor in Poland was taken into custody after 34 human fetuses were found buried in her garden at the former home, the officials said on Monday. The doctor, identified as Magdalena H., a 57-year-old medical pathologist having no previous criminal record, is suspected of using the foetuses to perform experiments, resulting in her now facing up to 12 years in prison. The case has sparked widespread controversy in predominantly Catholic Poland, with many people questioning how the doctor was able to obtain the remains of unborn babies in a country known for having some of Europe's toughest abortion regulations. However, a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office said investigators have found so far no evidence that the foetuses were linked through illegal abortions. The charges against the doctor include desecrating human remains, improper disposal of medical waste, and leaving hazardous materials in an unauthorised location. Last week, officials launched an investigation after medical waste was reportedly uncovered during construction work at her former residence in the southeastern village of Lutoryz.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/uk-pm-keir-starmer-to-bar-all-under-16s-from-major-social-media-platforms-1781508860388">UK government to bar all under-16s from major social media platforms, Keir Starmer announces</a><h3>Foetuses used for research purposes</h3>A large-scale search operation involving dozens of police officers, sniffer dogs, and ground-penetrating radar led to the discovery of at least 34 foetuses buried in the property's garden.
