Aborted Babies Incinerated to Heat UK Hospitals
That headline is a factual inaccuracy. The babies are incinerated to dispose of them, along with other medical waste.
Some of the waste heat is captured and used to heat hospitals, according to the text.
But the purpose of the incineration is not to heat hospitals, it is to safely dispose of hazardous waste.
I don't approve of the process, but the headline implies strongly that babies are being used as cordwood, and that is factually incorrect.
I understand it is hyperbole used to make a point, but I stand behind my original claim that the accusation is inaccurate.
A baby is not hazardous waste, it’s a dead human being worthy of burial. Very sad story.
You know Sherman, I thought you were a fully socialized intelligent adult, aware that headline writers and copy writers were two distinct job categories and that it was unnecessary to belabor the point that hyperbole sells papers or garners web clicks. The body of the copy seemed to make it clear that the waste to energy incinerators were a means of disposing of the bodies, not that the bodies were a primary source of fuel. You must have been the dead zone at every dinner party you’ve ever attended. Try charting the frequency of those and see if you can spot a trend.
