Welcome to Hell: "Corpses to heat swimming pools"


.
You can hope for a better tomorrow, but the future looks really fucked.


Two Stories of a Nightmarish Future
Story #1)   The Dutch set up Mobile Euthanasia Units

  • You too can apply by e-mail for a swift and orderly "disposal"
  • Think of the money you will save the Socialized Medicine system!


The Dutch are sending mobile euthanasia units to travel around the country.  The teams are made up of specially trained doctors and nurses.  They go to the homes of people whose own doctors have refused to carry out patients' requests to end their lives.

The launch of the so-called Levenseinde, or "Life End", house-call units – whose services are being offered to Dutch citizens free of charge – coincides with the opening of a clinic of the same name in The Hague, which will take patients with incurable illnesses as well as others who do not want to die at home reports the UK Guardian.

The scheme is an initiative by the Dutch Association for a Voluntary End to Life (NVVE), a 130,000-member euthanasia organisation that is the biggest of its kind in the world.

"The Life End clinic will have mobile teams where people who believe they are eligible for euthanasia can register," Walburg de Jong, a NVVE spokesman, said.

Sick people or their relatives can submit their applications via telephone or email and if the patient's request fulfills a number of strict criteria, the team is then dispatched.

Legal guidelines state that the person must be incurably sick, be suffering unbearable pain and have expressed the wish to die voluntarily, clearly and on several occasions.

Every year 2,300 to 3,100 mercy killings are carried out in the Netherlands, although opponents of the practice claim the figure is much higher because many cases are not registered. The Royal Dutch Medical Association (KNMG) supports euthanasia in principle if there is no alternative

"This is an inhumane proposal," said the German Hospice Foundation

Story #2)   The UK Conservative Party is excited to burn corpses to make electricity.

  • Burned corpses to be used to heat swimming pools.
  • Conservative leader says he would  “die a happier man” if he knew heat from his cremation was warming the waters of a local pool.


A world gone mad.  Hollywood was right again.  The Matrix is coming true before our eyes.  Human bodies are to be used to generate electricity.  How long until we start up Soylent Green factories?

A crematorium has come up with a novel way to cut down on its fuel bill - by hooking up its furnaces to the National Grid says the UK Daily Mail.

Durham Crematorium has submitted plans to install turbines in its three burners which can convert the huge amounts of heat generated during the cremation process into electricity.

The first turbine will provide around £2,500 of heating for the facility's chapel and offices each month through a 'heat recovery' system.


But crematorium bosses believe surplus energy from the other two turbines - enough to power around 1,500 television sets - could be fed into the National Grid.  The turbines will be powered by steam released by cooling hot gases used in the cremation process.  The scheme is part of a £2.3million upgrade of the facility.


And it could be adopted by other crematoria across the country forced to revamp their systems in order to meet Government targets on harmful mercury emissions.  Almost one fifth of mercury pollution in the UK comes from crematoria emissions through dental fillings. Crematoria have been ordered to eliminate such emissions by 2020. 





 


Conservative Party approval for Corpse Burning to heat swimming pools



Sir George Young, Conservative Party Leader of the House of Commons and Lord Privy Seal, said the proposal to warm a Worcestershire leisure centre with heat from a nearby crematorium was a “groundbreaking scheme”.
He said the Government is considering whether the plan could be duplicated elsewhere in Britain reports the UK Telegraph.
“The Government is aware of this particular scheme,” he said. “The Department for Energy and Climate Change will shortly be publishing its heat strategy and this will explore the potential for better recovery and reuse of wasted heat in schemes such as this one.”
He added that he would “die a happier man” if he knew heat from his cremation was warming the aters of a local pool.





Redditch Borough Council will be the first authority in the country to use a crematorium to heat a swimming pool. Work has already begun on the project, which is expected to be completed this spring. Since the plans were approved in February last year, they have won an award from the Green Organisation.
.
Karen Lumley, the Conservative MP for Redditch, had raised the plan as an example of an “innovative scheme which could save £14,500 a year to the taxpayer by heat not being put out into the atmosphere”.
.
Unison, the trade union, has previously described the cost-saving proposals as "sick and an insult to local residents".
.
However, the scheme is pushing ahead to will link the crematorium with the Abbey Stadium Leisure Centre.
