re: Aborted Babies from Canada being burned and used for power... UPDATE on Page 6

Practically, there's nothing wrong with what they're doing. Humanistically, though, I wonder what these types of practices does to the collective human conscience. I mean, is this the kind of devaluing of what we deem "human" that leads us to eventual social engineering or even the killing of 6 million Jews? Are there unintended consequences to looking at humans, even preformed humans, with value as a fuel source?

If the answer is even maybe yes, then simply burn them. Don't utilize them. There shouldn't be a desensitization and devaluing of humans in an effort to improve utility. You're not far from slavery or genocide when you reach that conclusion IMO, even if at first you don't realize it.


There is a debate right now at UMC Medical Center in Jackson about what to do with thousands of buried bodies from the State Lunatic Asylum dating back to 1855. They need to be moved to make room for expansion of important research facilities. One problem: It will cost $6 million to exhume the bodies and properly/respectfully relocate or cremate them.

These are bodies of people nobody claimed. Mentally ill people (back in those days thought to be possessed or any number of imaginative diagnoses) whose families simply dropped them off and certainly didn't claim them upon their death. The hospital had to do something with them.

The hospital, and the state, is now faced with an interesting choice of what to do. Do they bulldoze right over them and build over the top of them, or, unpractically, pay to have them exhumed?
