Many things: If the tissues were preserved they could be sent for some testing. As many as 1/3 will show chromosome defects. A fetus at 15 wks weighs about 2 oz and flips around a lot & can knot up the umbilical cord/cutting off nutrients. Some tomes with even refined testing and exams we just don't know.
