    This sounds like an ethical issue and one in question of deviations from the standards of care. Regardless of gestational age of the stillborn infant, the parents have a right to see, hold, etc.

    Questions for consideration are: Does the facility have written protocols for stillborn births? How to dispose of the body? How to release to a funeral home of parent’s choice? signed death certificate by qualified physician?
