State Bans Method Of Disposing Of Remains

Unread postby Ferretlover » Fri 23 May 2008, 09:41:28

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- State lawmakers have agreed to ban a method of disposing of human remains that many find unusual.
The process of resomation turns human remains into a liquid. Supporters said it's more environmentally friendly than cremation, which can release mercury. But lawmakers who reacted against what the process involves decided to ban it, even though it has been legal in the state for two years. …
So, how do they expect us to get rid of the zombie bodies??

Is that like in the Matrix where machines "liquify the dead to feed the living"?

Hey!......... Ah, never mind.

Zombie bodies will be a pleantiful resource for us to use & use wisely (unlike oil).

Woe is the day we reach peak zombie bodies :(

THEN what the hell will we do?

the process of hot composting turns chickens into high-test dirt.

the soil scientist i just took an ag. composting class from related how one of the trucks that dumped 10 tons of chicken feathers at his "input area" also dumped some chickens once.

after one 2 week hot compost cycle (typically you will have 4), the chicken's bodies were eaten up by the bacteria.

if it works with chickens, it would work with human remains. but, 'particle size' is important. (the material won't compost unless it is in small pieces.)

at some point our respective societies will need to use natural gas to heat the living.

cremating the fox terrier, as once happened in my family, will be something we used to do.
