Hospital admits to burning aborted babies in waste incinerator

[Turbo]

HEADLINE: Mothers who treated their children like garbage outraged at hospital that treated their children like garbage.

 

[Granite]

Did you notice that the story states that they do not dispose of miscarriages in the same manner as aborted babies?

I did. I guess it's a matter of intention or circumstances, despite the fact that the bodies in question don't change a whit.

If they did not respect them when they were alive, why would they respect them when they are dead?

Respect for the dead, comes from respect for the living.

TRANSLATION = How dare they burn my baby that I murdered. :madmad:

That's what I was thinking! People like that are so repulsive! Some people have such a twisted sense of morality. It doesn't come as a surprise that hospitals throw unwanted babies in with the rest of the waste, though. Murderers don't respectfully bury the dead, why would abortionists? According to their beliefs, why should they?

It's pointless of pro-lifers or even mothers of those babies to be outraged at the way aborted babies are disposed. They should be outraged at the root of the cause, that the babies are aborted in the first place! :bang:

 

[ShadowMaid]

Those mothers are now seeing what they're doing, and it's making them mad? Perhaps they're mad at themselves, but for goodness sakes, they're mad at the hospitals!

 

[James Hartline]

I am praying and fasting tonight on Halloween, asking God for a breaking through against all of this evil. He always hears and grants my petitions.

 

[Granite]

Gee thanks, James, how humble of you. And how appropriate for this thread.

"She said: "I am furious and very hurt. Imagine my horror when I discovered that my baby was incinerated in the same furnace as the hospital rubbish."

"My baby"? I thought socialists don't consider unborn babies "babies"? They always call it "a bunch of cells".

I'd love to tell her: If you hadn't killed your baby he/she would not have been incinerated in the same furnace as the hospital rubbish.

Hospital wastes in Great Britian are usually seperated according to their weight, density and type..

According to guidlelines and statistics provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), British (and most US) medical waste categories include:

INFECTIOUS: material-containing pathogens in sufficient concentrations or quantities that, if exposed, can cause diseases. This includes waste from surgery and autopsies on patients with infectious diseases.

SHARPS: disposable needles, syringes, saws, blades, broken glasses, nails or any other item that could cause a cut.

PATHOLOGICAL: tissues, organs, body parts, human flesh, fetuses, blood and body fluids.

PHARMACUTICALS: drugs and chemicals that are returned from wards, spilled, outdated, contaminated, or are no longer required.

RADIOACTIVE: solids, liquids and gaseous waste contaminated with radioactive substances used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases like toxic goiter.

OTHER: waste from the offices, kitchens, rooms, including bed linen, utensils, paper, etc.

Burning--especially due to local, provincial and governmental environmental standards--is hardly ever done. At least that's the story in the UK I know.

One of the UK's leading hospitals is throwing aborted babies into the same incinerator used for rubbish to save only £18.50 each time, it has emerged.

Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, said it was no longer able to afford the dignified disposal at a local crematorium of foetuses from unwanted pregnancies.

Instead, they are being burnt in the hospital's main incinerator - which is normally used for rubbish and clinical waste.

The revelation sparked anger and distress among church leaders and pro-life groups, as well as women whose pregnancies were terminated at the hospital.

Addenbrooke's adopts a different policy for unborn babies which are miscarried before 24 weeks.

They are either cremated at a crematorium , buried at a cemetery, or passed to the parents if they wish to make their own arrangements.

Dr Anthony Russell, Bishop of Ely, said: "I am sorry to know this is the practice currently being adopted by the hospital. I recognise there is a wide range of responses to this issue, but believe the disposal of foetuses should be undertaken reverently and with dignity."

Pro-life groups claim that, while not illegal, it goes against the spirit of guidelines issued by the Royal College of Nursing.

The RCN's guide, Sensitive Disposal of all Foetal Remains, says disposal alongside clinical waste is 'completely unacceptable'.

It adds: 'It is acknowledged that sometimes parents don't recognise their loss at the time, but may return months or even years later to enquire about the disposal arrangements.

'Therefore, it is important to respect the wishes of parents who may not want to be involved, but to ensure also that sensitive and dignified disposal is carried out.'

Lisa Wilson, of the ProLife Alliance, said: "What absolute horror. Has our society lost even a minimum concept of the humanity of the unborn child and the respect due to these tiny victims of our ruthless legislation?"

Michaela Aston, spokesman for pro-life charity Life, said: "The fact they are now disposing of human remains like they would any other waste product shows what society and this hospital has come to.

"It is just so disgusting. What has happened to the dignity of the human being? It reflects increasingly certain people in society's attitudes to the unborn child just flushing them away, or burning them like any other waste. How can we let this happen in a civilised society?"

One local woman, who asked not to be named, said after the heartache of deciding to have an abortion she was mortified to find the hospital had used the same furnace they burn rubbish in to incinerate her terminated baby.

She said: "I am furious and very hurt. Imagine my horror when I discovered that my baby was incinerated in the same furnace as the hospital rubbish."
