Washington could become the first state to legalize human composting
2019-01-02
[NBCNEWS] Washington residents "are very excited about the prospect of becoming a tree or having a different alternative,” state Sen. Jamie Pedersen said.
Different = better, even if it means becoming dirt.

#17   I had a long talk once with a hopefully ex-cannibal chief from New Guinea. He explained that civilized man didn't taste good at all. All that coffee, tea, cigs, etc.. ruined the flavor of the meat!

#7  Look at all the drainage and waste processing systems for newer National Cemeteries. The EPA documents required for them explain quite well why composting humans is a bad bad idea.

The scariest issue was unknown nuclear assist devices like French nuclear pacemakers.

The most common danger was embalming fluids and heavy metals.

#1  Soylent Green? Kuru? Getting human remains, dying of disease or not, anywhere near human water/foodstuffs seems ... unwise. Cremate and sprinkle the ashes if you are so inclined.
