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 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.
Rev, you may be interested in knowing that Greg Gutfeld brought up this disgusting story on "The Five" today and Mark Levin opened his radio show with it. Mark asked a most pertinent question: what has happened to the bodies of the approximately 50, 000, 000 babies we have killed in this country? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? (Mark was in really fine form).
