In spontaneously aborted fetuses or stillborn babies, over 70% of cardiac defects are associated with noncardiac malformations.
A total of 243 (17.3 %) babies were preterm and 54 (3.7%) stillborn.

Nevertheless, that child's being stillborn might be instantiated precisely by that matter being in that state.
The basic reason is reproductive compensation (the initiation of pregnancies specifically to replace the stillborn child).
The index stillbirths had a previous stillborn sib three times as often as did their controls.
There are some reports of five mature triploid infants and these were all either stillborn or died neonatally and had multiple malformations.
In doing this, the concept of stillborn, or 'corrupted' norms is developed, and this may provide some added explanatory value to the existing theoretical models.
