well,I think it’s kinda cool,but the question is is that does the dead bodies turn to tap atfer being dissolved and poured down the drain?

I understand the necessity of finding alternative means of managing the bodies of our dead loved ones, what with the environmental concerns involved. Perhaps a less drastic method or a modified environmentally friendly embalming scheme would be better. I’m just wondering whether we should be focusing on the dead to save the planet.

Shades of the movie Solient Green From the 70’s I believe! Next is the deceased to soup!

I think that the biodegradable coffins and non-preserved cadavers makes the most sense. There is a natural process that occurs, interfering with it is not necessary, until we need the raw materials left in the body for the next generation to start.

Rather than being reduced to a ‘coffee-coloured syrup’ and in the end ‘flushed down the drain’, the UK has seen the introduction of AARDBalm – a non-toxic, short-term preservation solution. Not only does the fluid safeguard traditional funeral customs whilst enhancing the appearance of the deceased (no muscle rigidity associated with traditional embalming methods), importantly the product provides a safer working environment for the Funeral Industry itself and, allows the natural decomposition process to occur without seeping harmful toxins into the ground and watertable.

good lord this is grisly. and yet, it makes so much sense… thanks for that “dissolved body to tap” imagery, by the way.
