I would like for everyone to acctually put some thought into their answers, not just say that this is a disgusting thread and should get locked.

The only reason I bring up a subject like this, is that so many humans die every day, and the most common way to dipose of them is to put them in a coffon/urn and bury them in the ground. That is not ecological in the least.

If you get cremated your body is releasing harmful gasses into the air, and if you get buried then your coffin has just taken up a plot of earth that will take a long time to grow any plants on it.

I think that there are a few ways to make disposing of human corpses more ecologically friendly, but I want to see what you people think of first.

I wouldn't suggest feeding the dead corpses to animals. They'll just want more and go after living humans.

Biodegradable coffin and making a compost pile are great ideas. I can't think of anything besides those two at the moment.

I would suggest processing the meat first. Also there is a risk of spreading disease.

Honestly, I bet starting a compost pile would be pretty good. Mix it in with some worms, newspaper, grass clippings and I'd bet you'd have great fertilizer.


oh yes just what a pile of dead bodies in my yard hey mom, is that grandma?

throw bodies in already used landfills once full cover w/ dirt its what they already do w/ trash its not like people have use for there bodies so they really are just trash

Personaly, I think we should harvest different organs, tissue samples, and bones, and create products with them. Like femur drumsticks, or bowls from peoples craniums. There are so many fun ways to dispose of humans with out having to bury them in the ground.

They could be used as mannequins in stores! That way no mannequins would have to be created, thus less materials would go to waste.

No?... Fine, be ethical then...

False. Feed your dog steak. Next time it see's a cow, see if it eats it. It won't.

I would suggest, that we use them for animal feed.

Valkery I pray to whatever force gave birth to the universe that that was a joke. Otherwise, I shall proceed to run like hell.

I dunno, sounds like a good idea to me. Just imagine an intestine tie...
