I do find it unimaginable however, surely it is not for heat but for practical disposal.
I bet as well as these, there are the arms/legs of amputees, diseased kidneys and sundry other items of flesh that have to be burnt for safe disease free disposal.
Leave the women that for their own tragic reason go down this road alone.
Remember the fact that a miscarriage is also an abortion.
What do they do in summer? Store everything until it's chilly?
Of course not. They are just disposing of someone's misfortune.

You are right Less, some hospitals have combined heat and power systems where the heat from everything they incinerate is used to produce heat or electricity. From a practical point of view it is obviously a good idea and as you said lots of body parts will end up in there. The story is just typical newspaper sensationalism and until they dragged it up most people in the terrible situation of miscarrying or having a termination don't ask what happens to the remains.
A health minister has jumped on the band wagon and has said it's totally unacceptable and has stopped it - must be election time.
Just got to the end of the story and this is the story on Dispatches tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm.
I might try and watch it tonight.
