The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were
incinerated as investigation has found.
The Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice which
health minister Dr Dan Poulter branded 'totally unacceptable.' But
before it was ended, at least 15,500 fetal remains were incinerated over
the last two years alone,clinical waste in the United Kingdom, with some even used
to heat hospitals.....
Commenting on the news, my friend Mollie Hemingway says,
"People are reacting to this story with the natural revulsion one feels
for such callous treatment of humans . . ." From what I've seen,
though, the "natural revulsion" has primarily been expressed by those
within the pro-life community. I suspect that those who have no qualms
about the dismembering of babies would likely not be disgusted by the
burning of their bodies.
Unfortunately, Christians have helped contribute to this callous
disregard by undermining the role of disgust in helping to recognize and
restrain sinful behavior. While we should never be disgusted by people
there a broad range of human behaviors that we should find inherently
disgusting. Yet while disgust was once considered a guide (albeit a
fallible one) to God's natural law, we now chastise Christians for even
implying that any sinful behavior can be disgusting. Continue at Joe Carter
