    Aren't some of those diseases transmitted other ways too? Why would there still be people practicing unsafe sex?!

    I don't like them either. I am pretty sure that biological waste in general needs special treatment, and afaik human remains are (and arguably should be) accorded special treatment.
    Can't be both - the fetus is either human while alive or it's not. Its remains don't magically become 'human' after death.

    And too bad you didn't read it, huh? The legit criticism is that they put an immediate halt to it as 'inappropriate'.

    But the obvious issue remains - if the fetus is not human for legal and ethical purposes then why is anyone surprised when 'non-human' remains are mistreated? The problem is the contradictory view that uses varying definitions dependent on political whim.

    From the article:
    As I've mentioned in the civics thread, the author has portrayed the exception as the rule. Yes, there were ~2,000 unborn babies incinerated in waste-to-energy facilities. Compare that to the ~15,500 total unborn babies incinerated.

    From the article:

    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....

    ...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.

    I have two of the best nephews in the entire world and I wonder that in an alternate universe, they could have had their brains sucked out of a tube and their bodies used to head the abortionists shower water.
