Aborted babies incinerated to heat UK hospitals - Telegraph

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.

Ah, big government in control of healthcare. Anyone have a problem with this (you know who you are)?

In the popular movie Noah it is suggested that God killed all the babies alive in the world...

You OK with that depiction of God? as a Baby killer?
 
Well, first off, you make it sound like the babies were alive when they were being incinerated... which is like, untrue.
below 13 weeks gestation at their own ‘waste to energy’ plant. The mothers were told the remains had been ‘cremated.’
Another ‘waste to energy’ facility at Ipswich Hospital, operated by a private contractor, incinerated 1,101 foetal remains between 2011 and 2013.

That's not even alive to begin with.

The aborted fetuses are not alive, not even what you and i might identify as a fully developed fetus that has brain function and stuff.

And as for the miscarried babies or the stillbirth, it's no different than cremation from a technical standpoint.

It has nothing to do with big govt being in control of healthcare. That's just a rubbish stance to take. But I do agree that the would-be parents of the aborted fetuses or miscarriages should give a written or oral consent to allow the hospital to do whatever they want with the remains.

Oh, you are comparing some movie with the NHS burning aborted babies for heat? Well, in one of the Batman movies they were trying to kill all the people in Gotham. Are you okay with NHS doing that too?

Sorry for misleading, I had assumed that most people viewing this thread would know that aborted babies are not alive. For all of you that are confused, no, aborted babies are not alive anymore.
 
It won't be long before they go full Jonathan Swift.
 
If they don't see a problem using multiple fetus for heat, why not chop them up and make pet food or maybe plant fertilizer.

Aborted fetuses taste terrible.
 
My biggest argument is that burning human flesh for energy is incredibly inefficient.

Congratulations, you're the first Christian I've encountered on the internet who's accused God of being the antagonist of the Bible.

I'm sure dogs, cats, ferrets, rats or even mixing it in with cattle food would be seen as a cost savings. "Miracle-Gro - now with fetus protein!". I'm sure it's not too much of a stretch for the Brits.

The article didn't say what it does with the ashes --- do they sell it or use it in any way?
 
Considering the opinions many of you sick bastards have about abortion in general, not surprising you wouldn't have a problem with sick ways of disposal. 8)

Aborted babies should be treated with more respect than to be burned with trash. If you can't grasp that I truly feel sorry for you.
 
So, how should aborted and miscarried fetuses be disposed of?
Make tiny little caskets and have funerals?

That's a great question. It's a question that the hospital should have (and should have had) internally and then with the surrounding community.

No doubt the makers of caskets and sellers of burial plots would like my suggestion.
 
You're probably baking them.

Fast fry after 12 hours of marinading in Heinz Fetus Sauce is the only way son.

I found if you can get them fresh, you can make a little sushi roll and they are mighty tasty. I've also found that a nice Tantrum sauce can really bring out some of the subtle flavors. Perhaps a nice chianti and some fava beans?

Well they make miniature shovels, no?

We should totally do an aborted Fetus cook book.
 
This thread has taken a turn.

I guarantee you John's severed leg was in there, too. Nor does this have diddly squat to do with government.

People apparently find the fact that hospitals have body parts and such that need to be disposed of (and they incinerate it to do so) to be shocking. But it's how things have always been done.

What do you want? A funeral for everything? I might sound callous - but bodily refuse is bodily refuse. Every hospital produces quite a bit: severed fingers, feet, internal organs that were diseased, placentas, and the uterus (cancerous growths, etc)
 
Well, what are they supposed to do with them exactly? What would be "respectful" enough for a first trimester embryo? I mean, I suppose you could try getting them in a nice funeral outfit, but it's kinda hard to tell them apart from the rest of the random clots in the uterus, and even if you could, it'd probably fall apart while you were messing with it. And frankly, I think that is way more morbid than incinerating it.

I mean, ordinarily what they do is throw it out as biowaste, and then they get hauled off by some dude and who knows what happens after that (sometimes it is burned, I do believe). That's standard. Is that "better"? Is this "worse"? What do you want them to do with it? I mean, what works for you people? The remains have to go SOMEWHERE, don't they? And for sterility's sake, they should probably be disposed of as biowaste. Just like severed body parts have to go somewhere. Most of them don't get a thimble-sized casket, so where do you think they go? Do you think they just get levitated up to heaven?

Honestly, anyone who believes they were "cremated" is, frankly, a little gullible (you can't cremate something with no solid bones), and the doctors are yellow bellied freaks for telling them that. I've met some cowardly doctors, and the nonsense they will spout to avoid having to say something hard is just beyond belief. Unfortunately, the "cremation" comment isn't even close to the most cowardly thing I've heard of doctors doing. Why they encourage deluded associations in their own patients and how they think this will help is beyond me, but some do.

I think the point is or was, that there's a moral issue at hand. None of the bodily refuse you mentioned save one, ever had a chance to become a functioning human being. I don't know what the laws are in the UK or how common this is. Apparently there's enough of a concern to question the practice. If it was and is common practice and there was never a concern - perhaps it was a manufactured outrage. I do see appendages, diseased organs differently than a fetus.
