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.’ 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 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. One of the country’s leading hospitals, Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge, incinerated 797 babies 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. They were brought in from another hospital before being burned, generating energy for the hospital site. Ipswich Hospital itself disposes of remains by cremation. “This practice is totally unacceptable,” said Dr Poulter. “While the vast majority of hospitals are acting in the appropriate way, that must be the case for all hospitals and the Human Tissue Authority has now been asked to ensure that it acts on this issue without delay.” Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS Medical Director, has written to all NHS trusts to tell them the practice must stop.

Evil. Society has not advanced one whit from when babies were sacrificed to Baal and thrown into fires. God help us!
Hitler would have been envious. I don’t think even the Nazis thought of that-using incinerated Jews as fuel for heating.
Sorry, I didn’t see the earlier thread. Will search better next time.
If the screaming savages take over the UK it will be a better place than it is now.
Russia has more abortions then live births.
I have to ask why? If the NHS believes that a fetus is mere tissue and it's okay to kill it, why are they squeamish about burning it?
Over the past 40 years the shame and stigma of abortion is gone and the public accepts it as a necessary evil. Yet they still sense somehow that it's not quite right and the "removed tissue" should still be treated with dignity and respect. When that doesn't happen you get bad press and public outrage. See the reaction to Kermit Gosnell who repulsed everyone with his shockingly casual cruelty to what we are told are neither actually human nor alive.
Weird how people can accept the actual killing but not the disrespectful handling.
“Evil. Society has not advanced one whit from when babies were sacrificed to Baal and thrown into fires. God help us!”
I was thinking the SAME THING! Except that they aren’t 3 months old, AND they kill them first :(
We don’t have to beat the drums to drown out their screams, which I’m SURE rise up to God’s ears just the same.
Probably because the accusation isn't true.
It takes much fuel to cremate a human than you get by burning it. IOW, the burning of the bodies is just not a source of heat.
Rush talks about this unconscionable practice.
It’s horrifying to think that someone would believe it was ethical or practical to use them for fuel. I can’t wrap my mind around that person’s thoughts (and I don’t want to.)
5 The abortion pleases Satan, because Satan needs human sacrifice to gain power, and so abortion is practised daily with so many not even being aware that it becomes a free-giving cult to the Devil. The devil thirsts for blood and he gets it now from the innocent.
I'm horrified by this. I cannot imagine what kind of cold hearted EVIL individual even thought of this, much less carried out the task.
I also cannot think of a better example of evil existing in this world....
Cameron is a sick, twisted and derange God-hating scumbag.
My first reaction. I'm surprised it took til your post with this tech savvy group.

This is so beyond the pale, I am lost for words. Hard to condemn Muslim bombings and beheadings etc. when the society they are trying to overturn is as disgusting and depraved as this. I don’t think even the Taliban burn babies to heat buildings.
no. look at syria and africa an what’s going on there and see that it isn’t true.
