In the UK: aborted babies as firewood

IncineratedFrom the TelegraphUK.com:

Aborted babies incinerated to heat UK hospitals

The remains of more than 15,000 babies were incinerated as ‘clinical waste’ by hospitals in Britain with some used in ‘waste to energy’ plants

Unless you were to write the script to a horror movie, a takeoff on a Saw or a Leatherface or a Freddy Krueger film, you wouldn’t suspect that reality could actually surpass the savagery or barbarity of celluloid.

Until it does.

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 British National Health Service (NHS) has consistently insisted to British subjects that its government-funded base is efficient, responsive, inclusive, caring, sensitive, cost-effective, compassionate, streamlined, humanistic, technologically updated, collaborative and legally defensible.

Except, of course, when it isn’t.

What, ladies and gentlemen, you can expect from US government-run healthcare as well.

  1. I doubt that there is any btu content available. One would use more natural gas to burn up a small fetus.
    All hospitals have an incinerator for burning up contagious dressings and removed body parts.
    Scientifically, a clean way to do it.
    Do you know where Eureka, CA is?
    In 1969, I used the incinerator there to burn up 6000 pounds of confiscated marijuana. Low clouds, onshore wind, 90% humidity.
    Well, got the whole city “high” on that boner.
    I still get kidded about it from time to time.

    • I know precisely where Eureka is. Went to some LE classes there. These days, Eureka is a dive populated with street bums.
