If the dead are being used for heat why not food?

Why not?

With consent its a good idea. You can turn me into burgers when I go.

wow
Kelly

Please tell us what your actual objection is.
I believe most hospitals incinerate hospital waste and that aborted foetus' are treated as hospital waste - in any country in the world.
Am I mistaken? Do you Americans do it differently?
Or is it the use of the incinerated material for energy that you object to?

See, just because it is on Fox News does not mean that it's not real, contrary to the programming you have received.

Interestingly, the hospitals have been told to stop the practice. Why? Isn't it just a glo ...[text shortened]... No one is jumping up and down about that, so why are they getting so upset over this I wonder?

Yes, thanks for that. The headline just reeks of believability. It's so fracking believable that I don't even need to go read it. 🙄

It was called Soylent Green.

So what is your opinion? Should the dead be used for the good of the collective whether it is using them for heat or for food?

Good question why stop at babies, the state could just say all dead bodies
can now be used to heat and feed the masses for the greater good, heck
the state could kill a few off to make life better for others.

I really wonder why we have such an attachment to the bodies of the dead. Just think how much space we could save if we didn't bury anyone.

And where are we getting this attachment? Theists generally think the soul is what's important, and that goes elsewhere after death. Atheists think the person no longer exists. To both, the body is just an empty shell after death.

Save for things like scientific research, or investigation of crimes, I don't see why we don't just cremate them all.

Do you carry an organ donor card?
Are you leaving your body to medical science?
If not - on whom should med students practice dissection?

If they could, they would take their cells and try to cure diseases.

Then you would see an end to incinerating them.

Those of faith view human beings as being made in the image of God. As such, they should be shown the respect they deserve whether living or dead.

Conversely, those not of faith see mankind as nothing more than a glorified animal ripe to be used as a beast of burden, herded aorund like cattle, or simply snuffed out like in a slaughterhouse for whatever purpose.

This is the rub.

If that is what you think then you still know nothing of how your opponents think...

Yet we can make accurate predictions about what you guys will freak out about and
why with considerable accuracy...

Simply from a knowing your enemy standpoint... We would seem to have a considerable
advantage.

Advantage for what, using our unborn to heat your house?

Oddly no... You see apart from anything else animal matter is a really lousy fuel,
because it's mostly water, and not flammable carbon.

You in fact need to use considerable amounts of fuel to provide the heat necessary
to burn biowaste, which is why cremationists don't just drop a match on the deceased
and watch them burn, they put them in an incinerator which uses a shedload of methane
[or flammable gas of your choice] to incinerate the bodies. It's why forest loads of trees
went into burning the animals slaughtered in the foot and mouth and mad cow outbreaks.

Just this one simple solitary fact would demonstrate to anyone possessing a brain that
hospitals are not in fact using foetuses as a fuel...

But then you never do let facts get in the way of your beliefs, so carry on being ignorant and
stupid... it makes you so wonderfully predictable.

Yeah, that's just how we think. 🙄
