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 recall the freeze drying method which inovlves freezing a corpse in liquid nitrogen and shattering it into a fine powder via vibration. The power is then disposed of in a biodegradable coffin/container/whatever.
Oh God that's just awful, this whole thread is. I know it may not be economically right to bury someone in a coffin. I couldn't imagine how much it would hurt to see a loved one that's passed away be disposed of like that. It's a thing of respect to bury people in coffins or cremate.
I find this thread awful because of some of the ways that are proposed to dispose of people, it just makes me feel sick.

OP says to not think ethically, but to think ecologically. Besides, it's the 21st century. People are a teeny bit more tolerant that we are animals just like others, instead of something higher. Right? *gets shot by an Evangelist*

I hope you don't really believe that. Humans of course are something much higher than other species. Look how developed we are. Look at how smart we are. Look at the wonders of the world we created. We've been to space and back. We've survived natural disasters. We've tamed other species. What other species can even nearly equal what we've accomplished.
The cockroach, it can survive nuclear fallout which we can't, not without radical changes. Also I want you to show me a human who can survive for a week after their head's been cut off.
Can it survive decapitation, or actually escape a flushing toilet?
The latter I saw happen, apparently it had fallen in, and when I hit the flush it actually fought the current and climbed out. God I hate the little critters but they sure are tenacious little bastards.

We can just create a really strong underground bunker. Get a radiation suit. And grow farms underground. Save up to a life times worth of water. Then go back into the world and decontaminate it.

That's an accomplishment on behalf of the other species, their just born with the ability to survive the war and survive without their heads on. Show me a link where you get this info from?
What does it matter if we don't dispose of our bodies "Correctly", is it going to contribute to Global Warming? I think not
As many leading experts agreen on, global warming is caused by a number of different gases being released into the atmosphere, including cloroflourocarbons, like dichlorodiflouromethane, carbon dioxide, methane and chlorine.
Methane, is a gas made naturally from our bodies, and is released from our bodies all through our life, and from our dead bodies, so technically, it IS contributing to global warming
