Remember, imbeciles and wits,
sots and ascetics, fair and foul,
young girls with little tender tits,
that DEATH is written over all.
Worn hides that scarcely clothe the soul
they are so rotten, old and thin,
or firm and soft and warm and full—
fellmonger Death gets every skin.
All that is piteous, all that’s fair,
all ...[text shortened]... ike silly sands.
We are less permanent than thought.

It appears that hospitals in the UK have been using aborted fetus' as a heat source for the said hospitals by incinerating them. However, like most other progressive secrets, once they become revealed there is outrage.
Should this continue? After ...[text shortened]... ike an appendix. In fact, why not just take the bodies in the morgue and do the same with them?
Originally posted by WajomaQuite right. The corpse of an adult would consume a lot of energy and would not be useful as fuel. For a fetus, which I suspect is also not a net contributor of energy for heat, it might help the debate to have a more realistic notion of size. http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-tools/articles/how-big-is-baby.aspx

Originally posted by WajomaAlso it is possible but extremely tedious to read up via Google on the regulations for hospital incinerators. In essence, hospital waste can be dangerous and so European regulations require that it is burned at temperatures of something like 800 degrees C. These temperatures would require something more effective than the poppy seed sized products of most abortions. Clearly a boiler generating such immense temperatures for any period of time is consuming a lot of fuel of a more conventional type and it makes sense, surely, for the resulting heat to be recycled as heat and / or power.
