It appears that hospitals in the UK have been using aborted fetus' as a heat source for the said hospitals by incinerating them. However, like most other progressive secrets, once they become revealed there is outrage.

Should this continue? After ...[text shortened]... ike an appendix. In fact, why not just take the bodies in the morgue and do the same with them?
Something fishy here, it is my understanding it actually requires a large amount of fuel to burn a corpse. A practical example of this can be seen on the Ganges where families that cannot afford sufficient fire wood to incinerate their ex-family member face the embarrassment of getting an incomplete result.

Quite right. The corpse of an adult would consume a lot of energy and would not be useful as fuel. For a fetus, which I suspect is also not a net contributor of energy for heat, it might help the debate to have a more realistic notion of size. http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-tools/articles/how-big-is-baby.aspx

Also it is possible but extremely tedious to read up via Google on the regulations for hospital incinerators. In essence, hospital waste can be dangerous and so European regulations require that it is burned at temperatures of something like 800 degrees C. These temperatures would require something more effective than the poppy seed sized products of most abortions. Clearly a boiler generating such immense temperatures for any period of time is consuming a lot of fuel of a more conventional type and it makes sense, surely, for the resulting heat to be recycled as heat and / or power.

If the American fundamentalists now want us to separate out the poppy seeds from the other associated medical waste, and it that is not too difficult to even achieve, then how do they propose to dispose of them? Bear in mind that for most human burials, the preferred option is probably incineration and the dust recovered from incineration can be disposed of in many ways.
