A burning question?
we really need to do something about end of life disposal of bodies .burrial is not allways a sound idea ,cremation pollutes the air with mercury and other things uses alot of natural gas .we could compost and use the methane for fuel and the leftovers for fertilizer.what do you think

Do you think our bodies have murcury in them?We should leave corpses to be eaten by worms that keep organic substances in the soil to fertilize plants.I agree that there is too many cemetaries on earth and we must dispose boddies to make way for future people.

I always say I want to be taken out back and burned with the trash (metaphorically speaking). I am uncertain of any nutrient value a body has after death and decomposition for the environment. Like in the days of the plague, where does the disease go?. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust at least our bodies should not rust!
Burial ceremonies are a form of trained belief and right. But as with everything else, it%26#039;s become a commercial %26quot;retail%26quot; event.
When our spirits leave it%26#039;s vessel we are gone, not of this place. I believe we should let nature take it%26#039;s course. Another thought is to have our bodies fed to hungry animals if you have to. We are all part of the food chain. Then our waste could be used to fertilize nature and in turn, our essence of life is on going

THere is a company somewhere in Europe that will freezedry your body, use ultrasound to pulverize it inot dust, and will then bury what is left in a biodegradable cornstarch coffin. This is probably the most eco-friendly way to go, but it is sort of expensive-it think it is like $10000

I think this is a personal issue, there are spiritual attachments, but overall, everyone has their own view. I don%26#039;t think we need laws or anything to govern this aspect. Really, be careful what you wish for, or someone might be regulating this next. I definitely think donating organs is a great idea, and I have nothing against cremation. But not fertilizer in the ground, please, diseases could spread, people would just bury people anywhere. There could be all sorts of problems. But good concept, really, if we keep challenging everything we will continually create new and better methods for everything.

Sure we have to develop new alternatives to dispose of bodies because of lack of space, pollution and others. For example, people can donate organs in the field of medicine so that when they die, sick people may benefit from them.
But we also have to consider the %26#039;traditions%26#039; of various religious groups. It is difficult to change the beliefs of people. Moreover, i think it%26#039;s quite %26#039;disgusting%26#039; to try to make compost out of human bodies! it%26#039;s hard to imagine such a %26#039;special%26#039; fertilizer in your garden!
Furthermore, i think that human waste diposals like plastic and electronic goods need to be considered in the first place as our bodies are %26#039;biodegradable%26#039; while every second consumption keeps on increasing since it takes rather a lot of time to get rid of such wastes

That%26#039;s why some people eat organic so their body decompose into a sea of flowers.

The ultimate in recycling - recycle yourself!
I don%26#039;t think my nearest and dearest will be too keen on stirring my remains into their compost bin, and anyway fat doesn%26#039;t compost well - I%26#039;m 30% fat! You are probably 35%, so don%26#039;t get smug...
