Aborted babies incinerated to heat UK hospitals

The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated as clinical waste, with some even used to heat hospitals, an investigation has found.

Ten NHS trusts have admitted burning foetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in ‘waste-to-energy’ plants which generate power for heat.
Last night the Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice which health minister Dr Dan Poulter branded ‘totally unacceptable.’

At least 15,500 foetal remains were incinerated by 27 NHS trusts over the last two years alone, Channel 4’s Dispatches discovered.

The programme, which will air tonight, found that parents who lose children in early pregnancy were often treated without compassion and were not consulted about what they wanted to happen to the remains.

What a happy ending for these children.

Would you rather that they become soylent green? /s

Much better they should be flushed down the toilet?

Soylent Green is a movie. Horrors like that are supposed to be fiction.

My God, how can they do this! Surely this will contribute towards global warming climate change!

Much better that they be treated like human beings. It's bad enough we eviscerate them in utero. Now we treat them as fuel.

There is something morbid about burning dead babies for heat.

Do you find it shocking that dead human beings are often buried or cremated?

My only problem with the quoted text was that the parents weren't given a choice.

So you're advocating they go to a landfill? Much more dignified to be sure.

 

[Atreus21]

No. I find it shocking when their remains are burned for fuel.

No, Atreus will personally pay for funeral services for all of them. Parents won't be there, but as long as some pedophile reads some words from a book at least it will be dignified.

You should open your own abortion clinic and offer customers a variety of options for dealing with their abortions.

Free market at work!

I advocate they be treated the way normal dead humans are treated.

...you guys are seriously going to defend this practice?

Who should pay for your version of a proper burial?

Yeah, I can't protest defiling the remains of human children unless I'm willing to pay out of pocket to rectify it.

Don't like the holocaust? Pay money for a memorial or shut up.

The water content of a freshly dead fetus would void it's utility as a fuel. Drying out the fetus to the point necessary for combustion of the carbohydrates in the fetus would require more energy than produced by said combustion. In other words, the fetii were not being used for fuel, they were being cremated, a common method for disposing of remains.

Short version: More word games from the fetus fetish folk.

You're telling me there's some expense involved in not burning dead babies for fuel?

Defiling. Disposing. It's ok to burn them as long as the energy produced is not used as heat. That's the line.

You think the foetal remains are going to separate themselves from the other medical waste? You think crematorium costs are the same as normal trash burning?

...Uh, yes. Exactly. I guess I'm not surprised that I have to explain this, but there are some standards of humane-ness to which the disposal of human remains must conform. Using human remains for anything is wrong, and it's made all the worse by the fact that these are children.

So you think they're sent there for their heating properties? And please detail for us exactly what these standards of humane-ness are.

Is it so much to ask that at the very least we don't use the bodies as fuel?

Yes.
